There is 1 issue in abiword's layout engine that prevents this from being finished. Martin and I discussed it on IRC, and we might have a way to do it. It needs some more explicit designing before we should implement it though. As for me being a perfectionist: I don't want to allow hacks in the code that fix a particular problem now, but will haunt us in the future :) > Martin and Marc will know better about the syntax highlighting stuff, > but if you can help with the very important activity that Write is, > please consider properly packaging pyabiword for fedora (and other > distros): > > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList#OLPC_Wishlist > > We are using a _really_ old prerelease tarball of abiword: > 2.6.0.svn20071127 . The Abi guys have already released 2.6.4 :/ I'm working on pushing proper packages in Fedora as we speak. It could take a few days before it's finished as this is all spare time work. AbiSource Corporation employees (read: me) can be hired though *hint* :-) Marc _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
