> It has first-class support for JATS, the de facto standard for archiving and interchange of scientific open-access contents with XML.<p>De facto standard? I've literally never heard of this. Where did this format come from?<p>This looks interesting. I want to try it out but I got an error ("SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations.. blahblahblah") and I don't feel like jumping through hoops just to get it going just to try it. Is there a) an online demo or b) a Dockerfile to get this working?<p>The website doesn't do a great job of describing what advantages this has over LaTeX or LyX, but I want to see for myself.<p>Last thing: I'll say it, "Texture" is a terrible name. Impossible to Google for, loaded meaning in many other contexts. I presume the "Tex" is for "Tex-like", but is it actually TeX or not? Because if not that's terribly weird to put it in the name.<p>Edit: Info on JATS here: <a href="http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1/" rel="nofollow">http://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1/</a>
"Current Release: 1.0.0-alpha.2 (2016-10-07)"<p>"The following priorities are confirmed and funded and will be realized until May 2017."<p>"The next pre-release (Alpha 3) is expected for April 2017."<p>So, what is the status?
We can not try it out online, why isn't there a hosted version since it is web app anyway? Do think the (bio)medical world could greatly benefit from such a tool since most researchers in these fields are still writing their papers in Word (as far as I am aware), most these people aren't tech savy enough to use Latex.
Back in 1998, a teacher at our university showed my his Word-like editor for LaTeX running on his Solaris workstation.<p>It wasn't LyX, rather some commercial product I cannot recall the name.
