  abstract =     "This paper draws a parallel between document
                 preparation and the traditional processes of
                 compilation and link editing for computer programs. A
                 block-based document model is described which allows
                 for separate compilation of various portions of a
                 document. These portions are brought together and
                 merged by a linker program, called {\tt dlink}, whose
                 pilot implementation is based on {\tt ditroff} and on
                 its underlying intermediate code. In the light of
                 experiences with {\tt dlink} the requirements for a
                 universal `object-module language' for documents are
                 discussed. These requirements often resemble the
                 characteristics of the intermediate codes used by
                 programming-language compilers but with interesting
                 extra constraints which arise from the way documents
                 are `executed'.",
