Here is how Enriched Text may become word processor with pleasant
result:
1. Enriched mode, with some addition of font sizes or similar
2. By converting Enriched Text to Pango markup
3. By using Pango markup in Emacs Lisp program
Pango – 1.0: Text Attributes and Markup:
https://docs.gtk.org/Pango/pango_markup.html
Pango Markup:
https://shinmera.github.io/pango-markup/
4. By using `paps' command, I have made package for it, but it may be
used by various methods:
GNU Emacs package: rcd-paps.el:
https://gnu.support/gnu-emacs/packages/GNU-Emacs-package-rcd-paps-el-76862.html
5. By converting on the fly the Enriched Text to Pango markup
6. By using Pango markup to produce printable documents with `paps'
The above workflow can produce visually pleasant text with all
attributes how Pango markup has it, provided that Enriched mode get
translation to Pango markup.
Could somebody help with making of such package? For me, I do not know
exactly where to start.
Michael how about some power from North?
