At the same time, if it were possible to have a set of defines (some macros, like for instance a set up of fonts) for TeX and be able to typeset, say, a vbox on the fly (that is, without having to deal with pages and so on), it would allow several application to take advantage of the typesetting capabilities of TeX. Any plan for a texlib?
