Indeed, TxText should provide live rendering. In the meantime, we have Rubric and there is a reasonable support for live rendering and linking: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/writing-pillar-books-with-the-gtinspector/
However, the current problem is the parser. In my solution, I used an island parser based on PetitParser. That's because the main parser is not flexible enough and, for example, does not preserve the locations of AST nodes. So, I would suggest to build on top of the GTInspector extension for now and focus on the Pillar parser. Once the parser will be usable for live rendering, we can switch to the TxText. Who would be interested in participating? Cheers, Doru On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 12:21 PM, stepharo <steph...@free.fr> wrote: > Once we will get TxText we will really invest into nice rendering.
