My personal list, not necessarily in priority order:
TEX
((1)) "small" database support in TeXUtil: ability to sort with
multiple keys, in ascending and descending order. And to
sort the same data multiple times, having the results of all
the sortings available (so that you can have e.g. a list of
the data sorted by, say, name, and a list of the same data
sorted, say, by content). I noticed there is already a
database support in TeX provided by the module core-dat. Am
I wasting my time with the xdesc module? Or will xdesc make
core-dat obsolete?
((2)) \defineitemize
((3)) Nine levels for itemizations (I need this for WordPerfect
compatibility
((4)) Inline itemization: (a) like (b) this (c) more or less (I
know it's there in the core ...
((5)) A way to get the (internal) number of a reference, so that i
can be used by TeX (without it being typeset).
((6)) Pseudo-floats: things that are of the same class as real
floats, have captions, are numbered along with the real
floats, but *do* *no* *move* and can (possibly) be split
(e.g. tables etc).
((7)) Subfloats: this was partly done by a recent patch, but it
needs some additions, mostly the possibility to reference each
subfloat separately.
((8)) The footnote bug: footnote ending on the wrong page when
footnote reference is at bottom of the page. (See attached
footbug2.tex; note that the bug appears both when there is a
footnote in the columns (pages 1--2) and when there is no
other footnote (pages 3--4))
IIRC you mentioned at EuroTeX that you already have a fix
for this, but that such fix would break something else in
certain cases. Is it possible to let this fix be "triggable"?
(You choose when to apply it and when not to)
((9)) Threaded documents: I missed that at EuroTeX, so at least
the explanation of the ConTeXt interface to PDF threads
would be greatly welcome :-)
((10)) Abbreviation: some abbreviations are better in small caps,
some are better in normal style. A way to selectively set
this?
META
((1)) MetaFun/ConTeXt interface to MetaObject
((2)) Finer grid in charts.
((3)) Interface limit:
connection_smooth_size := \@@FLOLstraal ;
connection_arrow_size := \@@FLOLstraal ;
connection_dash_size := \@@FLOLstraal ;
(in \dodogetFLOWchart) don't allow for fine-tuning
of the settings. (Should have different options for different
sizes.)
