Sorry to insist, but I would be really interested in approaches that are not just great things we could add to TeX.

For instance: would it be possible to have some kind of “layout engine” to which text processing would be just one among other plug-ins? I wonder what kind of information that engine should share with plug-ins. Do you think such system is possible? Or something else?

I would love to hear more of your thoughts on this. Don't hold back! Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
