Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 16 April 2021 is SCRIPT (markup).
SCRIPT, any of a series of text markup languages starting with Script under Control Program-67/Cambridge Monitor System (CP-67/CMS) and Script/370 under Virtual Machine Facility/370 (VM/370) and the Time Sharing Option (TSO) of OS/VS2; the current version, SCRIPT/VS, is part of IBM's Document Composition Facility (DCF) for IBM z/VM and z/OS systems. SCRIPT was developed for CP-67/CMS by Stuart Madnick at MIT, succeeding CTSS RUNOFF.
SCRIPT is a procedural markup language. Inline commands called control words, indicated by a period in the first column of a logical line, describe the desired appearance of the formatted text. SCRIPT originally provided a 2PASS option to allow text to refer to variables defined later in the text, but subsequent versions allowed more than two passes.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:46 UTC on Friday, 16 April 2021.
For the full current version of the article, see SCRIPT (markup) on Wikipedia.
