Hi Denis.

SILE seems interesting, aslo Patoline. However, I think both of these are
very immature, and I feel somewhat puzzled by the authors of SILE when they
say that you can't do grid typesetting on TeX without horrible hacks,
blatantly ignoring ConTeXt's achievements on the matter.

If you want to check an alternative typesetting system, I would tell you to
not look forward but backwards: groff/troff are alive and well, are very
mature, and you can find a lot of documentation and tutorials, even a
subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/groff/. I would recommend trying the
MOM macros for groff: http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/mom-01.html

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an
intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do
something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look
so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag
him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a
bitch.’” — Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell
