Ask: word processor with latex algorithm viable?

5 pointsby guillocheover 12 years ago
Since the MSWORD annoyed me on its layout and too many mouse operations, I am planning to write a word processor with latex layout algorithm (for browser or mobile devices too). It should be much smaller in binary size and run super fast by initial estimation.<p>Will I have any chance to survive? Am I crazy?<p>BTW, I am also an online graphics editor maker of Torapp guilloche designer on http://www.torapp.info.

I know that Scrivener supports Latex and other formats via Multi Mark Down. It's well regarded by some writers. Since I am not clear exactly what you are trying to accomplish, I can't tell how relevant Scrivener's success is to your project.<p><a href="http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php</a>

How does what you propose compare against something like LyX?<p><a href="http://www.lyx.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lyx.org/</a>
