This rocks! (Any chance you can post the input that produced that output?)

I will put another example with color support and I will post the
corresponding Lisp source in a few hours.

Impressive. I see it doesn't have TeX-style line breaking yet.
(There are at least two suboptimal breaks in the paragraph
beginning "The Lisp machine concept", I think.) But who cares?
It's neat.

Indeed. Kerning, too.

<g> well, he /did/ say:
Warning!
This test pdf file has been made with an early version 0.0 of
cl-typesetting. A lot of basic features, like a correct hypenation, are
still missing Marc Battyani
<g> I'd post the URL, but I think you already have it. <g> kenny

IIRC, the closure web browser by Gilbert Baumann had a TeX mode for
rendering HTML paragraphs. Perhaps Marc can rip it off for his
typesetting engine.
Oh, and it really is neat. Good work, Marc (-:

The rendering engine is already there but I have not yet put the hypenation.
I also found the hypenation patterns table at Mozilla web site. May be I can
look if there is some code for hyphenation anyway. (if the license permits
it)

Thanks!

The line-breaking and hyphenation algorithms used by TeX are
described in Knuth's /The TeXBook/. I'm not sure what the
license for them is though.

(There's also a more implementationally-centered description in
_TeX: The Program_)
They're unencumbered by patents. Unless you go through a ton of
macrology, transcribing the Pascal would surely be harder than just
reimplementing them in Lisp.

I believe the algorithms are free for anyone to use.
The code itself is copyrighted, but licensed on very
liberal terms.

I'm not quite sure if you're talking about the same thing here, but if
you are referring to the the word hyphenation algorithm as well,
please make it pluggable.
English hyphenation rules (it they are rules at all) are awful! In
bulgarian for example, there are 3-4 rules (and they even removed some
several years ago, so now there are even less!), but they are sooo
hard to use with TeX.
Just my 2 cents (I hope).

We are in Lisp so it's not a problem. you can provide your hyphen-word
method.
