Michael A. Harrison and Derluen Pan:
INCTEX: An Incremental Document Processing System
Rapport CSD-91-614, University of California, Berkeley, April 1991.
(50 pages, huge ps file).
INCTEX is an incremental document processing system for TeX
documents. The system is editor independent and has been used in a
variety of applications such as VORTEX. The formatter state is
periodically compressed and checkpointed to allow incremental
processing. Pages are selectively reformatted by analyzing the input
and doing state comparison to decide when to halt.
