The Evolution of Technical Writing, Typesetting Tools and Frameworks

Produktinformationen "From Markup to Markdown"
From Markup to Markdown is a history of how writers have used computers to
write, and a look ahead to see what the future looks like for technical writing.
This book explores both “technology history” and “how it
works” about how we write with computers, with code examples so readers
can explore and fully understand how each writing tool and framework works
behind the scenes.
Starting with an overview of the major milestones of writing with digital
technologies since the 1960s, you will learn about RUNOFF and how this inspired
roff on Unix (and the more familiar versions, nroff and troff). You will also
explore word processing milestones like WordStar, and printing technologies like
the phototypesetter and the dot matrix printer, before moving onto modern markup
and writing systems like HTML, Markdown and DITA and how they play a role in how
we write today.
From Markup to Markdown is ideal for writers, technical communication
professionals, history of computing researchers as well as
“retro-computing” enthusiasts.
You Will Learn to:
- Explore the history of technical writing in the age of the personal computer, from the 1960s to the present day
- Understand how the technologies and tools have evolved over time
- Learn how each tool works with simple and clear code samples and exercises, giving you an under-the-hood understanding of how each system works, from RUNOFF markup to modern Markdown
