Description
from the original back cover blurb: Today, writers not only work with words, they work with computers and the software programs, printers, and terminals that are part of a computer system. *UNIX Text Processing* reveals how computers can be used effectively in the preparation of written documents, particularly major book-length projects. The useful tools and techniques featured in *UNIX Text Processing* can help you unlock the resources and power of a computer system to tackle such writing projects as technical manuals, reports, and proposals. In these pages, you'll learn: * What's in the UNIX toolbox for writers, including format design, printing, and editing * How to make the computer do most of the work, using shell scripts and editing scripts * How to make use of the *awk* programming language for managing information * How to create simple line drawings, tables, and equations * How *troff* helps you take advantage of the capabilities of laser printers and typesetters * How to customize macros for document formatting
