(section :title "Lout Engine" :file #t :ident "lout-engine"
(index "Lout" :note "Engine")
(p [The Lout engine produces documents for the ,(ref :text [Lout
typesetting system] :url "http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~jeff/"), which is
then suitable for the production of PostScript/PDF files for printing.
Lout is a typesetting system comparable to TeX/LaTeX in functionality.
However, it is based on a lazy, purely functional programming language
and makes it easy to customize document layout; it is also lightweight
compared to typical LaTeX installations, consuming less than 10,(~)MiB
of disk space.])
(p [Skribilo's Lout engine provides lots of customization
opportunities (currently more than the ,(ref :ident "latex-engine" :text
[LaTeX engine])), which are shown below. It also enhances Lout by
adding new features: PDF bookmarks, high-level interface to the use of
dropped capitals, improved paragraph indentation, etc.])
(subsection :title [Lout Customization]
(doc-engine 'lout
`((document-type ,[A symbol denoting the underlying Lout
document type, i.e., one of ,(tt [doc]) (the default), ,(tt [report]),
,(tt [book]) or ,(tt [slides]). Note that these document types are not
interchangeable: ,(tt [slides]) should be used only when using the ,(ref
:ident "slides" :text [,(tt [slides]) package]); ,(tt [report]) and ,(tt
[book]) do not permit text in the body of a document outside chapters.
Also, these document types provide different layout features, ,(tt
[book]) being the ``richest'' one; in addition, some of the customs
below do not apply to all these document types.])
(document-include ,[Document style file include line (a string
such as ,(code [@Include { my-doc-style.lout }])) or the symbol ,(tt
[auto]) in which case the include file is deduced from ,(tt
[document-type]).])
(includes ,[A string containing ,(code [@Include])
directives.])
(inline-definitions-proc ,[A procedure that is passed the
engine and returns Lout definitions to be included at the beginning of
the document as a string.])
(encoding ,[The encoding of the output document,(footnote
[This option is supported when Guile 2.0+ is being used.]). As of
Lout,(~)3.39, only ,(code ["ISO-8859-1"]) and ,(code ["ISO-8859-2"]) are
supported.])
(initial-font ,[Lout specification of the document font.])
(initial-break ,[Lout specification of the default
paragraph breaking style.])
(initial-language ,[Lout specification of the document's
language. This is used to select hyphenation rules, among other
things.])
(column-number ,[Number of columns.])
(first-page-number ,[Number of the first page.])
(page-orientation ,[A symbol denoting the page orientation,
one of ,(tt [portrait]), ,(tt [landscape]), ,(tt [reverse-portrait]) or
,(tt [reverse-landscape]).])
(cover-sheet? ,[For ,(tt [report]), this boolean determines
whether a cover sheet should be produced. The ,(tt
[doc-cover-sheet-proc]) custom may also honor this custom for ,(tt
[doc]) documents.])
(date-line ,[For ,(tt [report]) and ,(tt [slide]),
determines whether a date line will appear on the first page (if it's a
boolean), or what date line will appear (if it's not a boolean).])
(abstract ,[For ,(tt [report]), this can be an
arbitrary Skribe expression for use as an abstract.])
(abstract-title ,[For ,(tt [report]), the title/name of the
abstract. If ,(tt [#f]) then no abstract title is produced. If ,(tt
[#t]), then a default abstract title is chosen according to ,(tt
[initial-language]).])
(publisher ,[For ,(tt [book]), the publisher.])
(edition ,[For ,(tt [book]), the edition.])
(before-title-page ,[For ,(tt [book]), an expression that will
appear before the title page.])
(on-title-page ,[For ,(tt [book]), the expression used as
the title page.])
(after-title-page ,[For ,(tt [book]), an expression that will
appear right after the title page.])
(at-end ,[For ,(tt [book]), an expression that will
appear at the end of the book, on a page of its own.])
(optimize-pages? ,[A boolean indicating whether to optimize
pages. Refer to Lout's User's Guide for caveat.])
(doc-cover-sheet-proc ,[For ,(tt [doc]), a procedure that
produces the title or cover sheet. When invoked, the procedure is
passed the ,(markup-ref "document") node and the engine.])
(bib-refs-sort-proc ,[Kept for backward compability, do not
use.])
(paragraph-gap ,[Lout code for paragraph gaps. Note that the
default value is not ,(code [@PP]) as one would expect but is instead
similar to ,(code [@PP]) with ,(code [@ParaGap]) equal to ,(code
[1.0vx]), which means that a regular inter-line space is used as
inter-paragraph space. This differs from Lout's default where the
inter-paragraph space is larger than the inter-line space, but looks
better, at least in the author's eyes.])
(first-paragraph-gap ,[Gap for the first paragraph within a
container (e.g., the first paragraph of a chapter). This allows
paragraphs to have a different indentation depending on whether they are
the first paragraph of a section or not. By default, the first
paragraph is not indented and subsequent paragraph are indented.])
(drop-capital? ,[A boolean or predicate indicating whether
drop capitals should be used at the beginning of paragraphs. When
invoked, the predicate is passed the node at hand and the engine.])
(drop-capital-lines ,[Number of lines over which dropped
capitals span. Only 2 and 3 are currently supported.])
(use-header-rows? ,[For multi-page ,(markup-ref "table")s,
setting this to ,(tt [#t]) allows header rows to be repeated on each new
page. However, it appears to be buggy at the moment.])
(use-lout-footnote-numbers? ,[Tells whether to use Lout's
footnote numbering scheme or Skribilo's number. Using Lout's numbering
scheme may yield footnote numbers that are different from those obtained
with other engines, which can be undesirable.])
(transform-url-ref-proc ,[A procedure that takes a URL
,(markup-ref "ref") markup and returns a list containing (maybe) one
such ,(markup-ref "ref") markup. This custom can be used to modify the
way URLs are rendered. The default value is a procedure that limits the
size of the text passed to Lout's ,(tt [@ExternalLink]) symbols to work
around the fact that ,(tt [@ExternalLink]) objects are unbreakable. In
order to completely disable use of ,(tt [@ExternalLink]), just set it to
,(tt [markup-body]).])
(toc-leader ,[A string, which is the leader used in
table-of-content entries.])
(toc-leader-space ,[Inter-leader space in table-of-contents
entries.])
(toc-entry-proc ,[Procedure that takes a large-scale structure
(chapter, section, etc.) and the engine and produces the number and
possibly title of this structure for use in table-of-contents.])
(lout-program-name ,[The ,(tt [lout]) program path, only
useful when producing ,(markup-ref "lout-illustration") on other
engines.])
(lout-program-arguments ,[List of additional arguments that
should be passed to ,(tt [lout]), e.g., ,(tt [("-I foo" "-I bar")]).])
(make-pdf-docinfo? ,[Tells whether to produce PDF "docinfo",
i.e., meta-information with title, author, etc.])
(pdf-title ,[Title for use as the PDF document
meta-information. If ,(tt [#t]), the ,(markup-ref "document")'s ,(param
:title) is used.])
(pdf-author ,[Author for use as the PDF document
meta-information. If ,(tt [#t]), the ,(markup-ref "document")'s ,(param
:author) is used.])
(pdf-keywords ,[Keywords (a list of string) in the PDF
document information. This custom is deprecated, use the ,(param
:keywords) option of ,(markup-ref "document") instead.])
(pdf-extra-info ,[A list of key-value pairs (strings) to
appear in the PDF meta-information.])
(make-pdf-outline? ,[Tells whether to produce a PDF outline
(aka. "bookmarks").])
(pdf-bookmark-title-proc ,[Procedure that takes a node and an
engine and return a string representing the title of that node's PDF
bookmark.])
(pdf-bookmark-node-pred ,[Predicate that takes a node and an
engine and returns true if that node should have a PDF outline entry.])
(pdf-bookmark-closed-pred ,[Predicate that takes a node and
an engine and returns true if the bookmark for that node should be
closed ("folded") when the user opens the PDF document.])
(color? ,[Indicate whether to use colors or not.])

(subsection :title [Additional Markup]
(p [The ,(tt [(skribilo engine lout)]) module also exports a new
markup called ,(tt [lout-illustration]), which provides an
engine-independent way to include illustrations written in Lout, such as
,(tt [@Diag]) pictures. When an engine other than Lout is used, ,(tt
[lout-illustration]) are first automatically translated to EPS (using
Lout's ,(tt [@Illustration])) and then to whatever image format is
supported by the engine (see Section ,(ref :section "Images")).])
(doc-markup 'lout-illustration
`((:ident ,[An identifier. This identifier is also
used as the basis of the EPS file name with non-Lout engines.])
(:file ,[If different from ,(tt [#f]), this
specifies a file where the Lout illustration is stored.])

capable of displaying images, as for ,(markup-ref "image").])

is ,(tt [#f]).]))
