This has shocked me

Would be interesting to see how LyX performs
Plain TeX would be much better than LaTeX, as a native format, if it
could handle fonts well. Does anyone know of a Plain TeX to LuaTeX or
XeTeX converter?
What do you want to convert?? Every Plain TeX document runs with
LuaTeX or XeTeX,
but, of course, not vice versa!
My thought is that I need to convert because I need to use the
tex-gyre-schola font, and as far as I know, Plain TeX won't accommodate
this font. So, as I understand it, my process would need to be:
1: Write in Plain TeX with whatever font is available
2: Convert Plain TeX to LuaTeX
You only have to load the font, tha's all ...
\input luaotfload.sty
\font\rm="[texgyreschola-regular.otf]:+lnum;+dlig"
\font\bf="TeXGyre Schola/B:+lnum;+dlig"
\font\it="TeXGyre Schola/I:+lnum;+dlig"
\font\bfit="TeXGyre Schola/BI:+lnum;+dlig" at 15pt
\rm
TeX Gyre Schola regular
\bf TeX Gyre Schola bold
\it TeX Gyre Schola italic
\bfit TeX Gyre Schola bolditalic

3: Use AWK to replace the font with tex-gyre-schola
4: Compile to PDF
The reason I need this is I could *easily* convert from (X)HTML5 to
Plain TeX. If I can go the rest of the way I can make a nice PDF from
XHTML5.
But I have neither the programming skills nor the LaTeX knowledge to
create LaTeX from XHTML5.
Thanks,
