Hello,


I'm new here.  I'm interested in cl-typesetting as a replacement for
things I normally use LaTeX for, as I'd prefer to have a normal
programming environment available. Is there some kind of generic
document describing the construction of documents with cl-typesetting?
 The examples are nice and all, but they don't really show the virtues
of cl-typesetting's approach to creating documents.

Have there been efforts to create extra packages:
 - Is there a package that makes cl-typesetting equivalent to the
expressibility in LaTeX (things like the picture environment)?
 - Is there an environment that helps you create slides (like beamer for LaTeX)?
 - Is there a package that mimics the standard LaTeX style for
articles, reports, ...


Thanks for the information,

Aad Versteden

I am afraid, no.

I do not use LaTeX but I believe the first two are not tough to program with
CL-PDF/CL-TYPESETTING.

The idea of style taxonomy is under development in YstokHelp PDF module but
it is on a very preliminary stage.

I've seen some thing resembling what you need (but it is only the a minimum)
check the documentation directory under
http://www.fractalconcept.com:8000/public/open-source/cl-typesetting/
