Key elements in building a successful photocomposition applications program
TEXTCOMP, a photocomposition applications program developed by the Technical Information and Documentation Division of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory using the Comp-2 language of Alphanumeric Publication Systems, is described. In Comp-2, each unique block of information such as a paragraph, centered heading, or side heading is termed a 'record'. All commands required for typesetting a record are grouped and identified by a record ID. Once the basic ground rules for typesetting are put into effect by a record ID, changes can be made in texts by means of in-text codes designed to access special characters or perform special operations. The approach used in the design of record ID's and in-text codes for TEXTCOMP to produce a code set structured for maximum usability by non-computer oriented personnel is discussed.
