hi,
m4 is text substitution. 25 years ago we used it to create web pages. The same text to create the
web and a a paper version. when you give some company "flyer" (5 pages) to clients, you may be
interested to have semantically very similar info in the web, don't you.
m4 was also used in thewml AFAIR.
True. There is m4 in *ix systems and going back a long time there was ML/1 (I
think there was an academic book published on that one, I think I have a copy
somewhere around here). Undoubtedly others I do not know of or remember.
Does someone know whether there is a version of FORMAC (either Fortran or PL/I). Well, it was from
IBM ? ;-(
