"Announcing: XPSTeX" . A joke. Really ?
ok, it's a joke http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.pdftex/3404 (but the best is http://www.google.com/tisp/ ) But my question is: Will be "easy" in luatex to implement a new output format (dvi,pdf,xps,<<my-xml>>,<<my-bin-format>>) driven by command line ? Actually $>texmfstart texexec --pdf a.tex ==> a.pdf $>texmfstart texexec a.tex ==> a.dvi ie, tex=>pdf or tex=>dvi because pdftex has two native output format. Of course one can use workflows tex=>dvi=>ps=>pdf tex=>dvi=>html by external tools, or one can write a tex macro that write on file whatever one wants, but it's not what I mean. luigi

in principle yes, and i will look into that some time next year; it relates to the fact that we can intercept tex's data flow any place any time, also when producing output i'm nos saying that it's easy ... as always fonts will be the tricky part Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
