HTML simply provides the tags, per my understanding. TeX is extensible. There is no reason I can think of why it cannot be extended to provide features like forms. Of course, the browser would have to support the new specification for the layout of forms. And once you do that you end up with something much like HTML, no? I don't follow what the problem is that is in need of fixing much less how LaTex would do that. >> I think it is a bit of egotism to think that somehow using Tex for one >> small aspect of a web language would solve any problems. >> > > What does ego have to do with a discussion of replacing HTML typesetting tags with the much-richer and customizable language of TeX/LaTeX? Have you ever used either to produce a document? This is no small aspect of rendering a web page, as the afterthought add-on of CSS should indicate. HTML has gone far beyond just defining how a page looks. It defines how a page can be interacted with. Ego is thinking that the few people in this group have a good idea of what the problems are or how they can be fixed. -- Rick
