Description: 
 The Lollipop format tries
 to bridge the gap between the fact that in TeX anything
 is programmable, and the fact that doing so is too
 hard for the people such as typographers, who know
 actually what to program. Or even for seasoned programmers.
 Lollipop is a macro package that gives the user powerful
 tools for programming macros for lists, headings,
 output routines and a number of other things. The
 Lollipop macros take the specifications for a macro,
 and then construct that macro. Lollipop is not finished,
 but it is already quite powerful; it was used to typeset
 Victor's book 'TeX by Topic', for instance. Anyone
 who is interested should format the manual and have
 a look at the examples in it. They document the current
 power of Lollipop (really: all examples, including
 of output routines, are formatted on the fly).
