Hi all,
I'm just wondering how TeX labels in metapost pictures are generated when using mplib: if the set of pictures are all build through the library which saves loading time and hd read/writes, it would be strange to launch another TeX compiler.
i'm not sure what you mean .. in mkiv there are no tex compilers launched, everything happens internally
At the same time, if it were possible to have a set of defines (some macros, like for instance a set up of fonts) for TeX and be able to typeset, say, a vbox on the fly (that is, without having to deal with pages and so on), it would allow several application to take advantage of the typesetting capabilities of TeX. Any plan for a texlib?
not on the short term (i.e. we will start looking into it when luatex is done which will be after 2010) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
