A slug is a piece of spacing material used in typesetting to space paragraphs. They are usually manufactured in strips of 6pt lead. In modern typesetting programs such as Adobe InDesign , slugs hold printing information, customized color bar information, or displays other instructions and descriptions for other information in the document. Objects including text frames positioned in the slug area are printed but will disappear when the document is trimmed to its final page size. ref cite web title Using Adobe InDesign CS4 work Create new documents publisher Adobe Systems url http help.adobe.com en US InDesign 6.0 WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f 715aa.html accessdate 2009 10 16 ref Usage in web publishing main Slug web publishing More recently this term is also used in web publishing to refer to short article labels that can be used as a part of an URL .

Computers and Typesetting is a 5 volume set of books by Donald Knuth published 1986 describing the TeX and METAFONT Metafont systems for digital typography . Knuth s computers and typesetting project was the result of his frustration with the lack of decent software for the typesetting of mathematical and technical documents. The result of this project include TeX for typesetting, Metafont for typeface font construction and the Computer Modern typefaces that are the default fonts used by TeX. In the series of 5 books Knuth not only describes the TeX and Metafont languages volumes A and C , he also describes and documents the source code in the WEB programming language of the TeX and Metafont interpreters volumes B and D , and the source code for the Computer Modern fonts used by TeX volume E . The book set stands as a tour de force demonstration of literate programming . The books are loved by mathematician s and other users of TeX. They may be less well known to computer scientist s and programmer s, as the TeX project was an 8 year diversion to Knuth s multi volume The Art of Computer Programming . The books themselves were typeset in the Computer Modern Roman typeface using TeX thus, in Knuth s words, they belong to the class of sets of books that describe precisely their own appearance. Volumes The five volumes are published by Addison Wesley. Volume A The TeXbook. Describes the TeX typesetting language . It is by far the most common and available of the set, as the TeX interpreter is widely used for typesetting.

In typesetting , justification can also be referred to as full justification is the typographic alignment setting of typography text or images within a column or measure to align along both the left and right Margin typography margin . Text set this way is said to be justified . In justified text, the spaces between words, and, to a lesser extent, between glyph s or Letter alphabet letter s kerning , are stretched or sometimes compressed in order to make the text align with both the left and right margins. When using justification, it is customary to treat the last line of a paragraph separately by left or right aligning it, depending on the language direction. Lines in which the spaces have been stretched beyond their normal width are called loose lines , while those whose spaces have been compressed are called tight lines .

Context date October 2009 The New Typesetting System NTS is a reimplementation of the typesetting system TeX in Java . The specific aims of the project were to continue the tradition of Donald Knuth s TeX by providing a first class typesetting software which is both portable and available free of charge. But whereas TeX is now frozen due to maximum stability, NTS was intended to remain flexible and extensible. NTS is written in Java. It is alpha software released in 2000 and it is capable of generating Device independent file format DVI . History The NTS project was inaugurated under the auspices of Dante e.V. Deutschsprachige Anwendervereinigung TeX in 1992. Coding began in 1998, following donations totalling 30 000 DM, and was funded through to completion. Joachim Lammarsch, Rainer Sch pf, Joachim Schrod, Bernd Raichle, Karel Skoup , Ji Zlatu ka, Philip Taylor, Peter Breitenlohner, Friedhelm Sowa and Hans Hagen, amongst others, have all been involved in this project, though not all were involved at the outset, and not all remained involved through to its completion. The objective of the project was to re implement TeX in a 100 compatible way. The final product of the project is trip test compatible, and demonstrates that a re implementation is feasible. However, for several reasons it was decided not to pursue the project any further. First of all, NTS is too slow to be used for production purposes, which does not motivate users to switch to this engine. Furthermore, the by then standard extensions such as e TeX were not included in the code. Also, in order to be useful today, Portable Document Format PDF output as well as pdfTeX specific extensions need to be implemented. Finally, by being 100 compatible with TeX, the sub processes of NTS are rather interwoven due to the nature of traditional TeX , which thereby makes the task of adding extensions less simple than ... typography Category Free TeX software Category Typesetting Category TeX ... more details
unreferenced date October 2006 History of printing In printing and typography , hot metal typesetting also called mechanical typesetting , hot lead typesetting , hot metal , and hot type refers to 19th century technologies for typesetting text in letterpress printing . This method injects molten type metal into a Molding process mold that has the shape of one or more glyph s. The resulting sort typesetting sort s and slug typesetting slug s are later used to press ink onto paper. Types of typesetting Two different approaches to mechanising typesetting were independently developed in the late 19th century. One, known as the Monotype Corporation Monotype composition caster system, produced texts with the aid of perforated paper ribbons, all characters are cast separate. These machines could produce texts also in large composition up to 36 point. The Super caster, was another machine produced by Monotype, designed to produce single type, up to 72 point. The other approach was to cast complete lines as one slug, usually comprising a whole line of text. Of this system there have been at least 5 different enterprises Linotype machine Linotype , Intertype Corporation the Typograph , produced in Germany The Monoline, a very basic machine All these machines were operated by non qwerty keyboards ...

Datalantic was an electronic typesetting company originally located in Atlanta, Georgia. The company relocated to Stuart, Florida some time after 1983. The company was sold in 1992 at which time it effectively ceased to exist. Note that the company s name left out the first t in A t lantic. The company played a role in two important facets of American history. In 1981 Datalantic was contracted by Vietnam Veteran s Memorial Fund VVMF , to collate, re case and ultimately typeset the original set of 58,159 names that appear on the United States National Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall . Such a typesetting project was no small feat given the technology that existed in 1981. Datalantic had a Computer Automation mini computer with what, at the time, was considered a very large 80 megabyte hard disk. The mini computer was connected to an Alphatype CRS typesetting device. The data was supplied by the United States Department of Defense Department of Defense on a 9 track tape. Datalantic wrote custom software to facilitate the process. The software was written using the BASIC programming language. The process included reconstructing data to the specifications, adding typesetting commands making all the names cap size and sorting by date of casualty within a line and alphabetizing at the same time. The names were printed and sent the Gold Star Mothers for proofing. Finally, the panels were typeset and sent to Tennessee for sand blasting. The company was also responsible for the development of a Federal Communications Commission FCC database relating to the breakup of AT&T . Category Defunct companies based in Florida ... more details
