7.4.1. New features
Version 1a9 has some new features.
- interscript-dev@eGroups.com mailing list
- There is a mailing list for people interested in discussiing
or contributing to the design and implementation of interscript.
At present, mail can be read from the archive by anyone,
but only members can post. Anyone can register as a member.
- UTF-8 support
- Interscript now tried to support the full ISO-10646 character set
as standard, using the UTF-8 encoding. This is the default encoding.
There is an option to translate input files using Latin-1 encoding,
which invokes a stub (the converted is not implemented).
Interscript now generates a table of unicode characters
as part of the documentation. The data for this table is taken
from files supplied by the Unicode Consortiom. The table
can help configure unicode fonts for browsers and other typesetting
systems.
- Lout Weaver WIP
- Edward S. Hirgelt has kind supplied a Lout weaver for
interscript. It is WIP.
- Lambda Weaver
- There is now a weaver for Lambda, the unicode equivalent of LaTeX.
It is called 'llambda' because lambda is a python keyword.
There is an OCP supplied for UTF-8 translation.
- XML weaver stub
- I've configured an XML weaver -- which is more or less a copy
of the HTML weaver. Hopefully an XML expert will consider
fixing it to do real XML. :-)
