Hi,

It seems the “ghost” of Quintus is an
unifying theme among Prolog systems, at
least when it comes to a poor mans formatting
utility. We started to embrace the ~t rubber
band, unknowingly opening the gates of hell of
plaintext layout engines. But what to do
with our richtext?

We didn’t find yet a loophole in the format/[2,3]
predicate to introduce paragraph richtext,
it doesn’t assume multi-line segments. To
brighten up the day of a Prolog programmer,
we can scatter nevertheless character richttext.
Thanks to a new tag_length/2 predicate
in library(markup).

Bye
