Sorry, unsure what DP> a markup language is. Sprint is a full-featured WP, configurable in DP> many ways -- but WYSIWYG would be so difficult as to be hardly worth DP> the effort. A "markup" language is based on the classic RUNOFF text processor. It would encompass variations such as NROFF, TROFF, TeX, and GMLS (whatever that is). Using a markup language, you code commands that direct the processing of the text: page layout, paragraph indentation, etc. YOu see the final product only after you have run the marked up text through the markup processor. The Select and Freestyle word processors are hybrids in that you see the "markup" (formatting) commands as well as a pretty close rendition of the final product. WordPerfect is considered a WYSIWYG program, altho you can see the formatting commands by use of the Reveal Codes command. - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) 51/1003 ------------------------------ Date: 06-30-90 (22:51) To: ALL Subject: LA50 KINK From: SARAH JONES Does anybody out there know why my LA50 gets the paper knocked off the sprokets anytime the paper-fold passes under the little bar in front of the roller.
