Abstract

This paper discusses a system for the preparation of documents, primarily but not exclusively scientific, in several languages. It can be viewed as a very large extension of Plain or as a simpler version of LATEX. Care has been taken to maintain syntactic consistency and to separate the document formatting chores from the document preparation housekeeping chores. This paper is not a complete description of INRSTÊX but rather describes its capabilities and chooses lists and combined text/graphics for some detailed comments.
