Re: [Wikitech-l] Tex update status

I am 100% for the comments you had about changing the backend to be more generalizable. I think that a plugin type architecture for this type of thing would be ideal... My thoughts: We currently have the <math> tags and are considering <music> and <tex>, right? At what point are we going to realize that the stuff that goes between these tags all share the same idea. That is, they are all text rendered into images and/or HTML for presentation. I think that it is crazy to add a tag every time we want to support a new renderer. We should use a single tag, and a modifier. A few possible examples: <render type=tex>\sqrt[3]{x+y}</render> <render type=math>\sqrt[3]{x+y}</render> <render type=texvc>\sqrt[3]{x+y}</render> <render type=lilypond>\notes{r4 <a c e> c e}</render>
