Plain TeX (which is what KerTeX offers by default) doesn't seem that
complex, but it does have the disadvantage of not offering much of a
separation between format and content. Both LaTeX and some of the more
sophisticated troff macro packages do a better job of allowing
"structured" editing.
Also, what level of font support is available in KerTeX and Plan 9
troff? I'm assuming that neither offers the level of "plug and play"
support for modern Opentype fonts that can be found in XeTeX and
Heirloom troff, but how are they otherwise?
Mike
