ant is a typesetting system inspired by TeX. It does not aim at complete compatibility with TeX but focusses instead on a flexible, clean, and modular design.

This version of ant finally implements all major parts of TeX. But there are still a lot of small things missing. New features include:

o an improved page layout algorithm with support for floats and footnotes

o an integrated scripting language
