- This directory contains sources, binary and documentation for MakeWrite,
- an application that allows MacWrite documents to be created from text files
- containing embedded formatting information. For example, you can define
- the strings "\bold\", "\italic\" and "\plain\" to mean switch to boldface,
- italics and plain style, respectively. Then the input text
-
- This is some \bold\boldface\plain\ and \italic\italicised\plain\
- text.
-
- will come out with the fourth word boldface and the sixth word in
- italics.
-
- You can define any string to be any combination of font, point size
- and type style. You can specify when input lines should be joined in
- output paragraphs and whether MakeWrite should try to figure out when
- to put two spaces between lines that are joined (e.g., if the end of a
- line is also the end of a sentence, the next line should be joined with
- two spaces, not one).
-
- MakeWrite was last compiled with LightspeedC 2.01 and TransSkel 1.02,
- I believe, so be aware of this. TransSkel is currently at 2.01, so some
- slight conversion will be necessary (see the TransSkel document).
