==== Description: ====
Bhrìd TeX is a new family of TeX formats. Recall that TeX formats is an
intermediary piece of software sitting between the user and the bare metal
TeX (bare metal TeX is known as INITEX). Plain TeX (Knuth) and LaTeX
(Lamport) are examples of widely used TeX formats.
Bhrìd TeX is a format targeted at those who are not at ease with LaTeX and
wish something more in the spirit of Plain TeX. In comparison with plain TeX,
Bhrìd TeX offers the following:
* a complex macro library system, that can do test against libraries
versions;
* a support for document class and document style libraries;
* a support for localization, the document class writer can easily load
token registers and macro registers according to a locale variant pair;
* a support for a selection scheme, it allows font matching against
independent criteria;
* a support for different object documents formats (DVI, PostScript, and
PDF).
However, Bhrìd TeX is not Plain TeX, neither an improved version of Plain
TeX. It was completely written from scratch.
Bhrìd TeX is far less advanced than LaTeX, does not try to match it neither
to replace it. It is however very usable, I rely on it systematically for my
own private productions.
