This one was a passion project. It's about how we've used computers for writing, including nroff, LaTeX, HTML, and DITA. There's even a chapter in there about WordStar on DOS. 🤓

I added a ton of references and examples, so you can see how it works. I think the chapters on nroff and troff are my favorite, because they show a really interesting part of tech writing history.

Für diese Miyake-Ereignisse gibt es keine eindeutigen historischen Aufzeichnungen. Aber würde sich eines wiederholen, wären die Folgen dramatisch.
