Readable typesetting
Just to encourage the rest of you :-)
Nick wrote his Lujvo paper so it is trivial to reformat it for
typesetting. This is a real plus.
I just converted the first three parts (all that have arrived so
far) to Texinfo. This means I can print it so it looks real
nice in a 7 by 9 inch book format. (Could also do other
formats). It much easier to read hardcopy that is nicely
typeset. Also, of course, the same source formats for on-line
hypertext. Convenient.
Three cheers for Nick. (Also, the content looks interesting....)
Incidently, I printed Cowan's papers from the archive in ASCII,
but refilled the lines to 64 characters. (This message is
refilled to 64 character wide lines, to show what I mean.)
Because of the large interline spacing, I can read longer lines
on my screen and this message looks narrow. However, I find
that my small font, closely spaced ASCII hardcopy is hard to
read unless the lines are shorter (thus replicating a centuries
old rule of thumb among old fashioned printers).
