meillo@147 3 .P
meillo@147 4 This document was typeset with the
meillo@147 5 .I troff
meillo@147 6 document preparation system on Unix.
meillo@200 7 After having typeset my diploma thesis with LaTeX,
meillo@200 8 the choice for troff was similar to preferring MH over mutt.
meillo@147 9 .P
meillo@147 10 I used the troff implementation of the Heirloom doctools,
meillo@147 11 and built upon the
meillo@147 12 .I ms
meillo@147 13 macro package.
meillo@147 14 To meet my personal wishes, I added further macros and replaced
meillo@147 15 clumpsy parts of ms.
meillo@147 16 My own macro code comprises about 400 lines.
meillo@147 17 Unfortunately, I must admit that the troff sources are not perfectly
meillo@147 18 portable as I accessed Heirloom troff extensions and ms internals,
meillo@147 19 occasionally.
meillo@147 20 .P
meillo@216 21 My document preparation setup was inspired and guided by
meillo@147 22 Dougherty and O'Reilly's
meillo@147 23 .I "UNIX Text Processing
meillo@147 24 and by chapter seven of Bourne's
meillo@147 25 .I "The UNIX System" .
meillo@147 26 The
meillo@147 27 .I "Nroff/Troff User's Manual
meillo@216 28 helped with definitive answers.
meillo@147 29 .P
meillo@147 30 The typesetting command line read something like:
meillo@147 31 .VS
meillo@147 32 export TROFFONTS=fonts REFER=bib
meillo@147 33 soelim style *.roff | refer -e -P -sLAD -l,2 -k | \
meillo@188 34 tbl | grap | pic | troff -Tps -ms 2>err.ig | dpost >thesis.ps

meillo@147 36 .P
meillo@160 37 The text and heading font is Philipp Poll's \fILinux Libertine\fP.
meillo@160 38 The monospace font used for code listings is a TrueType variant of
meillo@160 39 Dimitar Zhekov's \fITerminus\fP font.
meillo@160 40 Both are free typefaces.
meillo@160 41 .P
meillo@216 42 The layout of the inner pages of this document were modelled after
meillo@216 43 the German book \fIEinf\[udieresis]hrung in die Automatentheorie,
meillo@160 44 Formale Sprache und Komplexit\[adieresis]tstheorie\fP
meillo@160 45 by Hopcroft and Ullman, Addison-Wesley, 1990.
meillo@216 46 The title page was inspired by books of the 19th century,
meillo@216 47 mainly by the ones of Charles Darwin.
meillo@160 48 .P
meillo@216 49 For programming and for writing this document, I used the
meillo@213 50 .Pn ex-vi
meillo@213 51 editor because
meillo@213 52 .Pn ed
meillo@213 53 would have been a bit too heavy, even for me. ;-)
