Hi I just came across the SILE typesetter (https://sile-typesetter.org), which looks quite interesting and somehow similar to ConTeXt in some ways (e.g. lua), apart from the fact that it does not use TeX at all. ;-) Another project seems to be Patoline. Just out of curiosity: Has anyone some experience with these tools? Best Denis

Hello Denis, thank you for this interesting link "SILE"! Rudolf

Also thank you! Patoline is partly LaTeX based, Speedata Publisher uses LuaTeX, and I know of troff and XSL/FO. I’d be interested to hear about experiences with other code based typesetting engines (besides ConTeXt and LaTeX), since I used LinoSetting and 3B2 in earlier days. A healthy and happy new year!

The interesting thing here is that Patoline and SILE use some TeX-like syntax, but the underlying engine is not based on TeX at all. With Speeddata Publisher it's the opposite... Denis
