The spec sources will be written using the mixed HTML/Wiki notation that is already used by the draft library spec, see what's in the monontone repository if you're curious (spec/library). That should however not be a concern to most people who want to contribute draft spec(let)s, since the actual markup is mainly a problem for the editors. On the other hand, the more magic software that is used to produce speclets, the more pain it is for us to extract it into the actual spec. So be kind. Text and/or wiki notation (whatever flavor) is best. (I have written some speclets myself that I will post here if the present discussion ever subsides, and I have used plain text.) --lars _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
