To be honest, I don't care much (my preference for LaTeX I already mentioned). There are only a few points the language/format should offer: - Output in plain text, HTML and PDF (show stopper) - Table of Content (show stopper) - Table of figures, tables (would be cool but no show stopper) - Automatic section numbering (show stopper) - Useable way on style PDF and HTML I started a wiki page where we maybe can collect better the pro and contras and other informations. -> http://wiki.geany.org/newsletter/markuplanguages Cheers, Frank _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
