There are at least two distinct problems here.

To produce rich-text output, use a rich-text formatter such as troff or TeX or ReST or Markdown. There are also various XML-based toolchains but all except troff tend to basically boil down to converting the output to TeX or LaTeX, then printing that.

Actually printing a hardcopy of the resulting output (usually a PostScript file or PDF) is a separate problem altogether, and hinges a lot on your hardware, operating system, and local conventions.

LATEX(1)						      General Commands Manual							  LATEX(1)

NAME
latex, elatex, lambda, pdflatex - structured text formatting and typesetting SYNOPSIS
latex [first-line] DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual Web2C: A TeX implementation. The LaTeX language is described in the book LaTeX - A Document Preparation System. LaTeX is a TeX macro package, not a modification to the TeX source program, so all the capabilities described in tex(1) are present. The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the content of their documents, rather than the form. The ideal, very difficult to real- ize, is to have no formatting commands (like ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in the document at all; instead, everything is done by specific markup instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a section''. The primary source of documentation for LaTeX is the LaTeX manual referenced below, and the local guide in the file local-guide.tex or local.tex or some such. elatex is the e-TeX extended mode version of LaTeX format. lambda is the Omega version of the LaTeX format. pdflatex is the pdfTeX version of the LaTeX format. On some systems latex209 and slitex are available for compatibility with older versions of LaTeX. These should not be used for new texts. SEE ALSO
