Re: History of structured authoring tools

["Lech Rzedzicki" <xchaotic -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I especially like to remind myself with estimate from Knuth:
"On May 13, 1977, he wrote a memo to himself describing the basic
features of TeX. He planned to finish it on his sabbatical in 1978,
but as it happened the language was frozen only in 1989, more than ten
years later."

Document layout issues will be with us forever. I think current
problems will shift from paper to limited display space on mobile
devices, hence the growth of Usability studies.
