“The people at MSP wrote special software that converts my TeX
source text into suitable input to other software that
creates pdf files.”
I wonder why using a TeX engine capable of producing PDF output
directly wasn’t an option.
The part about "geeks" of 200 years ago is interesting. Also this:
local quote = [[
I still think many years will have to go by before I
would recommend that my own highly intelligent wife, son,
and daughter should learn to program, much less that
everybody else I know should do so.]]
local maybe = string.gsub(quote,"program","TeX")
Who knows ...
