Dear All,
(If you are not interested un DB2LaTeX, please, discard this message and
I apologize for de inconvenience)
Many of the comments and bug reports I receive about DB2LaTeX concern
the escaping of characters as well as internationalization. I'm thinking
about how I could improve the package, and using external "modules" with
java and/or C++ is an option. However, dropping the "XSL only" approach
may mean compatibility problems, and that some XSL processors are
supported and others aren't.
So my questions are:
- Should I add extension modules in order to make DB2LaTeX to make it
perform better and faster?
- If yes, which are the approaches I should consider?
- Has anyone experience with this? Pointers appreciated.
- Should I focus in providing support for the 1 or 2 "most widely used"
XSLT processors in benefit of the number of features supported?
In general terms, I would be against the inclusion of external modules.
However, some things require ugly hacks and some people have suggested
using add-ons for these.
Many thanks in advance,
Ramon
