MKIV does not dependent on Perl and Ruby. I think Hans has plan to convert the MKII scripts to Lua language. Anyway, I highly respect the ConTeXt and LuaTeX's work. But if Taco and Hans can : - use a proper regexp library (like lrexlib?), not the silly lpeg - make font loading faster (by massive fontforge change or replace it with ft2+libotf. we need more efficient solution esp for big fonts) - support TeX line-break-like page break - support arbitrary text-flow maybe via mplib (example: The ultimate (?) float problem + How could a typesetting system be today? on mailing list ) - make processing conditional-aware (see "two newbie questions about conditional processing" on the mailing list) - fix the bug of focus=standard - more powerful multi columns (maybe not through gird typesetting?) - full support of xslt:) Things might be a lot better... > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to > the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
