Computer languages in type: typesetting computer programs, commands or data files poses special challenges: the compositor must consider various technical considerations as well as stylistic conventions

Abstract

(f.3) D.E. Knuth, The T'Symbol not transcribed'EXbook (Reading, MA: Addison - Wesley 1986). The software itself is distributed free by Stanford University and other sources, and has been ported to a huge variety of computers; there are also commercially supported versions. Most T'Symbol not transcribed'EX typesetting is now done with LAT'Symbol not transcribed'EX, an extension of the T'Symbol not transcribed'EX system that is distributed along with it. See Leslie Lamport, LAT'Symbol not transcribed'EX: A Document Preparation System (Reading, MA: Addison - Wesley 1986). On the typefaces themselves see D.E. Knuth, 'Mathematical typography,' Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society (new series) 1 (March 1979): 337 - 72, and D.E. Knuth, Computer Modern Typefaces (Computers and Typesetting, vol. E) (Reading, MA: Addison - Wesley 1986).
