Abstract
Recent advances in printing technology have reduced the cost of typeset quality printers. Unfortunately, the production of attractively formatted documents requires typographic skill and special training on computer-based text processing systems. The principal characteristics of Etude are that it embodies substantial typographic expertise, and is based on concepts familiar to untrained users . Furthermore, Etude provides a real-time display facility that allows the results of editing and formatting operations to be seen immediately. Thus, Etude supports the entire process of producing decorously formatted documents.
