I'm not exaggerating, I would gladly be convinced/proved that I'm wrong. How much effort (expressed in hours or days) do you think is needed to implement the following? (Any existing opensource solution may be used as the basis.) My wishlist is not that demanding: * allow generating both printable documents on white background, as well as black slides with mostly white text (PDF as well as browsable HTML website) * support advanced mathematical formulas * some sections or words do need to have some special markings (for example apply some colours or bold/italic; the colour of course needs to depend on background colour) * tables need to be styled according to white the designer specifies, but it should be very easy to change the table style after some months * support consistently styled "CAUTION: ..., WARNING: ..., NOTE: ..." sections inside the text (make it trivial to change the style of how these are printed out after some months) * support table of contents, nice front page etc. * support vector images for PDFs Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
