@Chapter @Title { Types of Documents } @Tag { types } @Begin @LP Particular types of documents have specialized formatting requirements: title pages in books, abstracts in technical reports, and so on. Producing such things using the general-purpose features of previous chapters can be quite awkward, so Lout provides a range of @I { document types } with the appropriate specialized features for document.types @Index { document types } each type. @PP At present there are six types: ordinary documents, technical reports, books, overhead transparencies, stand-alone illustrations, and plain text documents. The features of all other chapters are available within every document type, but the features of one document type are not available within other document types. @BeginSections @Include { typ_ordi } @Include { typ_repo } @Include { typ_book } @Include { typ_over } @Include { typ_illu } @Include { typ_plai } @Include { typ_orga } @EndSections @End @Chapter
