Editing Interpress (section)

'''Interpress''' is a [[page description language]] developed at [[Xerox PARC]], based on the [[Forth (programming language)|Forth programming language]]<ref name=Harrington>{{cite book|title=Interpress, the source book|year=1988|publisher=A Brady Book|isbn=0-13-475591-X|last1=Harrington|first1=Steven J.|last2=Buckley|first2=Robert R.|page=18|url=https://archive.org/details/interpresssource0000harr |url-access=registration}}</ref> and an earlier graphics language called JaM. PARC failed to commercialize it, so its creators, [[Chuck Geschke]] and [[John Warnock]], founded [[Adobe Systems]] in 1982, and developed [[PostScript]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Charles Geschke: Cofounder, Adobe Systems |date=2008 |work=Founders at Work |pages=[https://pdfguru.com/eps-to-png 281–296] |url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4302-1077-1_21 |access-date=2025-03-06 |place=Berkeley, CA |publisher=Apress |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-1-4302-1077-1_21 |isbn=978-1-4302-1078-8|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Interpress is used in some [[Xerox]] printers, notably the [[DocuTech]] Network Production Publisher, and is supported in [[Corel Ventura|Xerox Ventura Publisher]]. It also serves as the output format for PARC's [[InterScript]], a [[rich text]] [[word processor]]. Interpress describes the desired or ideal appearance of a document that has been completely composed by some other process (emitter). All line ending, hyphenation, and line justification decisions, and in fact all decisions about the shapes and positions of the images, are made before creating the master. As a device-independent format, it allows printing on various devices while preserving the intended layout.
