What are people's thoughts on this? As Amir already said it is not only reLyX that needs to be translated if we ever decide to do this but also the TeX perl module, and that means lots of work... > I think we should start centralising the reLyx problems, Amir's mailbox > sounds like the place to start and from there decide whether reLyx should > remain in perl or be changed to python. I prefer python, but as I don't see it as a plausible task to replace perl by python due to the work involved. If there was such a good python parser for TeX, on the other hand.... > Cheers > > Koz -- José
