Typesetting systems
Polytype – Home -- A Rosetta stone for typesetting engines. This project's goal is to provide a chrestomathy for typesetting similar to what Rosetta Code does for programming languages. The samples here are designed to compare and/or contrast the approaches taken to various typesetting situations by different typesetting engines.
