Hi, 

Currently I'm working on

- chapter 5 of the manual (translating examples into english)
- example styles (article collection style in progress)
- chinese support (in 'fine points' stage, beta available)

the next up to date, number 007, will be about chinese (in translation
now), and the yet unpublished ones 005 and 006 about bibliographies and
math. 

So far, 

Hans

Hi all,

I'm currently: 

- extending, improving and documenting some metapost graphic features
- writing a dedicated manual on mp graphics (metafun) of which about a
quarter is done [some 60 pages] [since david arnold checks the english and
tests each example I hope that the content is ok]
- cleaning up new table code and adding a few more features

so, in the near future, new tables (html alike) will be finished as well as
more info on how to embed mp graphics, including text flow embedded
graphics, will be launched

After that, I will finish the last chapters of the reference manual and
make up the manual. Interactive documents will move to a dedicated manual. 

I also picked up an old thread, linked typo areas, which I'm now thinking
of combining this with a tables based layout. Some experiments showed me
that it's actually rather trivial to implement a mechanism that supports a
more 'wild' layout spec, like areas [margin, header, etc] spanning others
etc. The main conceptual problem is how to intergrate this smoothly. 

Of course old wish list stuff is still in progress (styles, documentation
etc), 

Hans
