Abstract
At TUG'2012, we presented some ideas about using one of the oldest
programming languages (Lisp), in order to modernize one of the oldest
typesetting systems (TeX). This talk was mostly focused on justifying the
technical fitness of Lisp for this task. This time, we would like to take
the opposite view and demonstrate a prototype, from the user’s perspective.
This involves showing what a TiCL document could look like, the implications
in terms of typesetting vs. programmatic features, and also in terms of
extensibility (relate this to class / style authoring).
