John Smith asks about generating postscript

the important thing to realize is that postscript is a full blown
programming language, so what you are generating is a program, it is
not some kind of simple markup language. Now you can write a postscript
program that will process ASCII, or marked up ASCII text, so one possible
form of output from a program generating postscript is:


   (postscript program)
   (marked up text)

where the postscript program reads the text as input.
