Page description language
Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAG : Page description language
A page description language (PDL) is a language that describes the contents of a printed page in a higher level than an actual output bitmap. Some page description languages are not complete enough to be considered a programming language, however, PostScript, one of the most noted page description languages, is a fully fledged programming language.
