There is also pdftex. This is part of texlive and provides pdflatex. I
think texlive and pdftex are more popular/de-facto standard but this
is only from personal experience.
Also, it would be very nice to see some performance comparison between
tex on plan9 and tex on some other platform.

Hi
I'm aware of XeTeX (I had mentioned XeLaTeX in an earlier thread), and
yes, I understand one wouldn't be looking for identity with what other
platforms support. I agree that one shouldn't be looking to ape, but
rather to provide the same or more functionality in a better way.
Perhaps I'll be ab

It occurred to me that a profitable thing to do here would be to mention some
things that would be nice to see in a new improved TeX... I believe
bidirectional was mentioned already.

Sorry to be a grouch, but can we change this thread to OO instead of the

I'm interested in the TeX news, but not so interested in the OO/language
debate that no doubt will go on for a while...
Thanks!

Ok--so it's agreed that it's not OO that's the problem, it's the users, then,
who don't know which tool to use when. Not at all the same thing.
And to be pedantic, since you give this example, the sun does revolve around
the earth, so long as you choose the earth as your point of reference...

In theory, if LaTeX is still a set of macros, it should work w

XeTeX itself is based on patches to Knuth's WEB source code for TeX.
It's the PDF-producing section (xdvipdf or some such) that's written
using a C++ library for handling PDF.

One question. Anyone tried get LaTeX on this TeX port?
What are the missing pieces to make it run on it?

This doesn't make much sense to me. Object-orientation in itself is simply
another level of data abstraction. And for the rest, I think "provability" is
more theoretical than practical, other than the most trivial programmes.

True (or true enough)?
Not to engender a flame war, but my gut says there must be some
Eiffel, Smalltalk, and LISP folk out there who are big on provability,
but I can imagine that there's a ca

LaTeX does too. I have used it with a recent version of TeX Live to
get greek and mathematical symbols in verbatim code listings.
