Sigh. The web pages of LilyPond are written and translated by humans, not some program. They are written in Texinfo format, and an automated process generates HTML (and other formats) from them. Whatever language/system the web pages are supposed to be written in in future, it will need to be managed by authors and translators of the content. A proposal where the questions of "who is going to do or manage the ongoing work required to be done by various different people in future" have no answer or a plan how to arrive at such answers is going to be problematic. This does not as much mean "$x is not a good approach for LilyPond web pages" as it does that the current approach for LilyPond web pages solves a number of problems that will still be pertinent when trying other approaches. If a proposal does not even try to address how that could be done, that does not exactly provide promising prospects for actually solving all of those problems once the project/web page is in flight. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
