TIDYTEXT - Document Formatting Program

Abstract

The program TIDYTEXT is a text formatting program which was designed to be used, in particular, with machine readable documentation. The text files contain the mimimum of control characters and the formatting is done following a few simple conventions. The text file itself may be re-formatted or a file output for printing. There are options to handle Vax help file compatible text files and to produce Postscript output files. Much of the original Laue software suite documentation was prepared in TIDYTEXT format and TIDYTEXT documents may be prepared, if desired, from the more recent primary Laue documentation files in a 'pre-html' format.

Documentation

A user documentation file is available in html format. The suite is distributed with a plain text file equivalent.

Availability

The program is distributed as part of the Laue Software Suite.
