Editing Document Structuring Conventions (section)

==Example==
A DSC-conforming document (this one generated by [[dvips]]) might begin:
<syntaxhighlight lang="postscript" line>
 %!PS-Adobe-2.0
 %%Creator: dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software
 %%Title: texput.dvi
 %%Pages: 1
 %%PageOrder: Ascend
 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
 %%DocumentPaperSizes: Letter
 %%EndComments
</syntaxhighlight>
which has the following meaning:

# marks the document as conforming to version 2.0 of the DSC
# identifies the PostScript-producing program as dvips 5.95a
# identifies the document title
# tells the document manager that the document consists of one page
# tells the document manager that pages are independent (i.e., not in Special ordering) and appear in ascending order in the document; in this example, since the document only consists of one page, this information is not usually relevant, but will be needed if additional pages are to be inserted by a document manager
# tells the document manager the coordinates, measured in PostScript [[point (typography)|point]]s, of the bounding box for all the pages taken together; 0 0 612 792 is the coordinates of a [[US Letter]]–sized page
# tells the document manager what kind of paper sizes are used in the whole document; in this example only one size is used, namely the US Letter size
# marks the end of the prolog
