Optimal production of biological documentation: the JAM format.
The current environment for providing documentation for users in molecular biology frequently requires written information for both printed and electronic media. The JAM. (Just Another Metafile) Format requires that only a single file of text is written. This is, then, processed by the jam program which converts this text to a document set which is suitable for on-line documentation in the hypertext mark-up language (HTML) of the World Wide Web system. For printed output, the jam program can produce either text in wordprocessor-ready Rich Text Format (RTF), or source code for the LaTEX typesetting system. The latter allows for professional text layout and can generate, amongst other formats, postscript files to be printed on a variety of devices.
