Ask: word processor with latex algorithm viable?
Since the MSWORD annoyed me on its layout and too many mouse operations, I am planning to write a word processor with latex layout algorithm (for browser or mobile devices too). It should be much smaller in binary size and run super fast by initial estimation.
Will I have any chance to survive? Am I crazy?
BTW, I am also an online graphics editor maker of

- wtracy 14y agoHow does what you propose compare against something like LyX? http://www.lyx.org/ http://www.lyx.org/
- guilloche 14y agoLyx does not have pager and its realtime layout engine is worse than word.
- thomasbk 14y agoCould you be more specific about the things Lyx does worse than Word? For me, most of its WYSIWYM-features work pretty well. For what it's worth, the most annoying thing for me have been the tables, which overflow in awkward ways.
- bpedro 14y agoWill it offer realtime rendering?
- brudgers 14y agoI know that Scrivener supports Latex and other formats via Multi Mark Down. It's well regarded by some writers. Since I am not clear exactly what you are trying to accomplish, I can't tell how relevant Scrivener's success is to your project. http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php
