Fixing Scids LaTeX output (acutally the output as such should be quite
ok, but the compiler calls are all completely outdated and cluttered
around in the code; one should also migrate from calling latex to
calling xelatex or probably even better lualatex both with utf-8
encodings in their repsective exports, which is easy as Scid is utf-8)
would make a /very nice/ initial project for new programers who want to
contribute to Scids codebase.
It is actually very, simple straight forward stuff collection all calls
to the compilers to one module. One could learn a lot of Scids Tcl/Tk
frontend and logic of Scids without to much knowlege necessary to start
out. (Except that one should know what LaTeX is.) Especially, one would
need almost no knowlege in the inner workings, C/C++ backend and such.
It would also make a /very nice/ project for someone willing to learn
Tcl/Tk as only simple stuff is required here and the final code should
be quite short.
