This directory contains sources, binary and documentation for MakeWrite,
an application that allows MacWrite documents to be created from text files
containing embedded formatting information.  For example, you can define
the strings "\bold\", "\italic\"  and "\plain\" to mean switch to boldface,
italics and plain style, respectively.  Then the input text

	This is some \bold\boldface\plain\ and \italic\italicised\plain\
	text.

will come out with the fourth word boldface and the sixth word in
italics.

You can define any string to be any combination of font, point size
and type style.  You can specify when input lines should be joined in
output paragraphs and whether MakeWrite should try to figure out when
to put two spaces between lines that are joined (e.g., if the end of a
line is also the end of a sentence, the next line should be joined with
two spaces, not one).

MakeWrite was last compiled with LightspeedC 2.01 and TransSkel 1.02,
I believe, so be aware of this.  TransSkel is currently at 2.01, so some
slight conversion will be necessary (see the TransSkel document).
