If you encounter any problem building it or using it on MinGW, then that’s probably a bug that ought to be reported to ‘[email protected]’. > and equation formatting seems underdeveloped. That’s true. Particularly, there ought to be a TeX back-end, and probably a MathML back-end too. The Lout back-end for equations basically works but rendering could surely be improved (which also implies work on the Lout side). > It would be great if Skribilo evolved into some modular scientific > office suite Scheme library with a type of structured WYSIWYM editor > (like GNU TeXmacs) with math support. The ‘TODO’ file contains “Write a nice GUI based on Andy's STexi browser”, which refers to this: http://wingolog.org/pub/texinfo-browser.png . That would provide a nice viewer; one could imagine augmenting it so that it becomes a LyX-like editor, but that’s not on my to-do list. BTW I’ve been quite inactive on Skribilo for some time, the reason being that my spare time is currently largely dedicated to the forthcoming Guile 2.0 (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2009-12/msg00035.html for the latest announcement). I’ve started “porting” Skribilo to Guile 1.9, which I’m hoping to finalize “soon”. I also need to look at Klaus’ bug. ;-) Thanks, Ludo’. _______________________________________________ Skribilo-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/skribilo-users
