Nope, as long as you're trying to pushn the rigidity and inflexability of print books onto e-readers, people are going to keep telling you that it's not what they want. The one-size-fits-all view is, as you note, nonsense.


frabjous - The problem is not with using TeX to create the book, it's with including a TeX rendering engine. The problem related to it being "conditional public domain", which legally is problematical (because, and only because, of the American 35-year rule. Let's not go there...).

And the sort of embedding being talked about was /code/ defining additional tags. Allowing book-embedded code...yea.


cmdahler - I know what TeX is. It's a markup language aimed at the print book market, especially technical books. I'd rather get away from the restrictions of print books than impose them on ebooks.
