7. Pretty Printing

The main feature of a2ps is its pretty-printing capabilities. Two different levels of pretty printing can be reached:

basic (normal highlight level) in which what you print is what you wrote.
string (heavy highlight level), in which in general, some keywords are replaced by a Symbol character which best represents them. For instance, in most languages `<=' and `>=' will be replaced by the corresponding single character from the font Symbol.

Note that the difference is up to the author of the style sheet.
