+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label ant</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>The ANT typesetting system</h3>
+<p/>Achim Blumensath&rsquo;s <a href="http://ant.berlios.de">ANT</a> project,
+in contrast to <i>NTS</i>, aims
+not to replicate TeX with a different implementation technique, but
+rather to provide a replacement for TeX which uses TeX-like
+typesetting algorithms in a very different programming environment.
+ANT remains under development, but it is now approaching the
+status of a usable typesetting system.
+<p/>ANT&rsquo;s markup language is immediately recognisable to the
+(La)TeX user, but the scheme of implementing design in
+ANT&rsquo;s own implementation language (presently
+<i>OCaml</i>) comes as a pleasant surprise to the jaded FAQ
+writer. This architecture holds the promise of a system that avoids a
+set of serious problems with TeX&rsquo;s user interface: those that
+derive from the design language being the same as the markup language.
