IIRC there are DSLs that are context free and which compile down to TeX. I just can’t recall at the moment any.. it’s been years. The layout engine inside TeX is second to none. Why throw out the baby with the bath water?
- choeger 7y agoI never encountered a context-free typesetting language that was as powerful as TeX. I assume it would be quite a lot of rather boring work. The main interesting design question would be how to express content and its relationships in some logical way that is distinctive from the algorithmic layouting.
