I don't look yet into 2.0 alpha sources about parser code but was it changed
into module structure like other things did? If so, it is very good, I'd like
to add some LaTeX-like formating after 1.2.6 will be released to make life
easier for scientific applications of Midgard. Current implementation of parser
has some limitations in extension scheme (you'll need to rewrite parser at
least in two or three places in different packages), so modularizing it would
be great. Actually, I've already have LaTeX-like formatting done in PHP using
regular expressions and possibly support for PCRE in the text parser would be
useful. I mean that text formating modules could use generalized API for
accessing PCRE library like it is done with DB support. Then creating parsers
would be more efficient (it could be relatively simple to create parser for
Word-like format, as those apps already done in Perl and C). Thus, we could
achieve the same feature set that proprietary systems (like NPS) sell for
thousands of dollars. Especially it would be great if those parsers could be
dynamically loaded (hence, optimisation for memory footprint will be very
effective). Also real document flow is impossible without those things.
Kind regards,
Alexander.
