from the original back cover blurb:

Today, writers not only work with words, they work with computers and the software programs, printers, and terminals that are part of a computer system.

UNIX Text Processing reveals how computers can be used effectively in the preparation of written documents, particularly major book-length projects. The useful tools and techniques featured in UNIX Text Processing can help you unlock the resources and power of a computer system to tackle such writing projects as technical manuals, reports, and proposals.

In these pages, you'll learn:

  • What's in the UNIX toolbox for writers, including format design, printing, and editing

  • How to make the computer do most of the work, using shell scripts and editing scripts

  • How to make use of the awk programming language for managing information

  • How to create simple line drawings, tables, and equations

  • How troff helps you take advantage of the capabilities of laser printers and typesetters

  • How to customize macros for document formatting
