The D.R.D. is a D.T.D. *plus* additional logical properties of the D.T.D. For instance, you may wish to say which tags are "sectional tags", so that sectional cursor motion can be implemented in a straightforward way or so that they can be exported in a uniform way to LaTeX. Currently, the D.R.D. mainly manages important properties like the arity of a tag, which children are accessible by the cursor, etc. More things, like block/inline properties and environment variables should be added within not too long. Documentation should also be completed slowly but surely. > 2) scripting language independence > > I think something was mentioned about making it possible to script > TeXmacs with other languages than scheme. What became of this? At the moment, I have no time for this. I would already be happy to have a decent and well document interface in Scheme. I also more and more believe that Scheme is a great scripting language for TeXmacs. > 3) OpenGL backend > > Also, I remember something about creating an OpenGL drawing backend > for TeXmacs.
