  • An XML Model of CSS3 As an XƎL ATEX-TEXML-HTML5 Stylesheet
    An XML model of CSS3 as an XƎLATEX-TEXML-HTML5 stylesheet language S. Sankar, S. Mahalakshmi and L. Ganesh TNQ Books and Journals Chennai Abstract HTML5[1] and CSS3[2] are popular languages of choice for Web development. However, HTML and CSS are prone to errors and difficult to port, so we propose an XML version of CSS that can be used as a standard for creating stylesheets and tem- plates across different platforms and pagination systems. XƎLATEX[3] and TEXML[4] are some examples of XML that are close in spirit to TEX that can benefit from such an approach. Modern TEX systems like XƎTEX and LuaTEX[5] use simplified fontspec macros to create stylesheets and templates. We use XSLT to create mappings from this XML-stylesheet language to fontspec-based TEX templates and also to CSS3. We also provide user-friendly interfaces for the creation of such an XML stylesheet. Style pattern comparison with Open Office and CSS Now a days, most of the modern applications have implemented an XML package format that includes an XML implementation of stylesheet: InDesign has its own IDML[6] (InDesign Markup Language) XML package format and MS Word has its own OOXML[7] format, which is another ISO standard format. As they say ironically, the nice thing about standards is that there are plenty of them to choose from. However, instead of creating one more non-standard format, we will be looking to see how we can operate closely with current standards. Below is a sample code derived from OpenOffice document format: <style:style style:name=”Heading_20_1” style:display-name=”Heading

  • Seven Steps to Regulatory Publication Style with Proc Report Dennis Gianneschi, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA
    Seven Steps to Regulatory Publication Style With Proc Report Dennis Gianneschi, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA ABSTRACT This paper outlines SAS® 9.1.3 coding steps to produce output that meets "Regulatory Publication Style". This style is specific to my clinical trial reporting environment and is composed of requirements coming from two separate sources. The first source is an internal company document called the Style Guide for Regulatory Submission, which all output submitted to a regulatory agency must follow. The second source is the publishing software itself, which processes all output into the regulatory filing. Examples of style guide requirements are: RTF output, Arial font, and that footnotes must attach to the bottom of the table without a box drawn around them. Publishing system requirements are: a) The user controls the type of line breaks, either soft, {\line}, or hard, {\par}, in the title, which controls how much of the title is picked up by the publishing software and put in the table of contents. b) Each line, such as a spanning underline or the line between the table body and the footnotes, must have a minimum thickness of 19 twips. c) Section breaks are not allowed. d) Table title and footnotes cannot be in the header or footnote section of the RTF document. e) Table title must be "free text" on the page and not in a table structure. The seven steps to achieve this style are: 1) proc template, 2) statistical procs (optional), 3) reformat data (optional), 4) add pagination and footnotes, 5) proc report, 6) post process RTF file, and 7) View in WORD® (optional).

  • Development of Computer Typesetting
    Early steps in computer typesetting in the 1960s Jonathan Seybold, September 2018 1961–1964 Michael Barnett’s “Experiments in Typesetting” In 1961, Michael Barnett, an associate professor at MIT wrote a computer program that could produce punched paper tape output to drive a phototypesetting machine. He used this to produce the “Tail” from Alice in Wonderland, and a phototypeset press release. These were the first documents that were phototypeset from output generated by a computer. In 1962 Barnett received a research grant to continue this experiments. This lead to development of the PC6 system, which was used to produce a variety of reports, pamphlets and other publications in late 1963 and early 1964.1 Hardware: IBM 709/90 computer and a Photon 560 phototypesetter. Software: Written in Fortran, with a few routines written in FAP (Fortran Assembler). Written for a specific Photon 560 set-up. Typefonts were identified by disk position and row number. The TYPRINT program for text output composed text to fit a predefined page width and depth. Lines were broken after the last complete word that would fit on that line. There was no attempt at hyphenation. Pages were arbitrarily broken after the last line that would fit on the page. Special commands could be embedded in the text to tie text elements together. When it encountered these, the program would simply make the page as long as necessary to accommodate all of the text in the “no break” area. Given the scientific academic setting, the most notable feature of TYPRINT was a program written by J.M.
