An overview of EDMAC: A plain TEX format for critical editions

• Author(s) / Creator(s)

  • John Lavagnino & Dominik Wujastyk

• EDMAC is a set of plain TEX macros providing the ability to format critical editions of
  texts in the traditional way, i.e., similar to the Oxford Classical Texts, Teubner, Arden
  Shakespeare and other series. The principal functions that are added are marginal line
  numbering and multiple series of footnotes and endnotes keyed to line numbers. While
  EDMAC's inner workings are necessarily esoteric, it seeks to provide relatively simple
  macros to enable you to control the exact format of the edition, taking into account
  the need to vary the format for different sorts of texts.
