'''Interleaf, Inc.''' was a company that created computer [[software]] products for the technical publishing creation and distribution process. Founded in 1981, its initial product was the first commercial [[document processor]] that integrated text and graphics editing, producing [[WYSIWYG]] ("what you see is what you get") output at near-typeset quality.<ref>{{cite magazine

Interleaf's "Active Documents" functionality, integrated into its text and graphics editing products in the early 1990s, was the first to give document creators programmatic access (via [[LISP]]) to virtually all of the document's elements, structures, and software capabilities.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=English
