When it will be installed ?
I have listed a couple of minor problems and showstoppers on http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_requests
Any reason these things cannot be fixed later, after it's installed?
You can read my reply on http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tex_requests In one sentence: no such reason
I still think that it is inane to plan a whole plethora of backend plugins for various types of graphics, rather than simply support tex and be done with it, once and for all.
Can TeX draw arbitrarily specified maps of the world? Can TeX render SVG to PNG for browsers that don't support it natively?
TeX can do none of these.
It turns out that the one feature I need when editing math, namely commutative diagrams as on http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_lemma , I will not get. I guess I have to wait until someone implements an xypic plugin.
"Will not get" meaning that it still needs to be added to texvc, or meaning that there is some fundamental incompatibility between texvc and commutative diagrams?
It's rather "it still needs to be added to texvc". No real incompatibility here.
