Re: Proposal: abandon #303 and VR3

2016-09-21 Thread lewis
I was under the impression (possibly mistaken) that vr3 was the future and that vr + vr2 were headed for the attic. So now would be a good time to summarise the actual feature sets or differentiating features of vr, vr2 and vr3. I think this will help in reviewing any convincing reasons.

Proposal: abandon #303 and VR3

2016-09-21 Thread Edward K. Ream
I'm having second thoughts about the wisdom of merging VR and VR2 into VR3, for the following reasons: 1. The code bases are significantly different, despite similarities. 2. Most people will strongly prefer one or the other. 3. There is no great need for the merger. In fact, it's possible to

Proposal for Leo 5.5: remove stylesheet substitutions

Don't panic. If we do anything it will only happen after ample discussion. No changes will be made for Leo 5.4. Imo, Leo's stylesheet machinery is on the point of collapse. I, for one, am often confused by the gazillion stylesheet-related settings. They were supposed to make life easier

Rev a471ed18 updates the VR plugin so that the handlers for markdown (md) and reStructuredText (rst) now *do nothing* for "other" text. This includes the body text of @url nodes. I'll make similar changes in the VR2 plugin as needed. Imo, this is the correct approach. It is certainly the
