DVItype output example

As an example of the output from DVItype (see section above), here is its (abridged) translation of the `story.dvi' resulting from running the example in The TeXbook, with `-output-level=4' and `-show-opcodes' on.

Explanation:

• The DVItype options are recorded at the beginning, followed by global information about the document, including fonts used.
• Each DVI command is preceded by its byte position in the file (`42:', `87:', ...), and (because of the `-show-opcodes') followed by its decimal opcode value in braces (`{141}', `{142}', ...).
• The `level' lines record information about the DVI stack; `h' and `v' define the current position in DVI units, while `hh' and `vv' are the same in pixels.
• Text sequences are summarized in brackets, as in `[A SHORT STORY]' and the `[ 1]'.
