1.3 Why platen?
The FAQ on quarto.org states:
We wanted to use a name that had meaning in the history of publishing and landed on Quarto, which is the format of a book or pamphlet produced from full sheets printed with eight pages of text, four to a side, then folded twice to produce four leaves. The earliest known European printed book is a Quarto, the Sibyllenbuch, believed to have been printed by Johannes Gutenberg in 1452–53.
A platen is a flat platform used in printing presses. Gutenberg’s press used a platen, and later jobbing presses used platens to automate printing in different formats. By connecting roxygen2 with Quarto, platen offers more documentation options to R developers.
