suggestion for LMTX

suggestion for LMTX

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hi Hans,

compiling the following sample with LMTX

    \starttext
    \contextmark

    \contextbanner
    \stoptext

outputs MKIV.

Wouldn’t LMTX be a better option than LMTX?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Why? Although there are some fundamental differences deep down, the LMTX 
version has the MKIV functionality. There might be a point where we bind 
a frozen version of MKIV to LuaTeX, but only when the code base becomes 
too hybrid to my taste. Of course there will be functionality only 
available when you use LMTX, but that is something Wolfgang and I need 
to figure out wrr the interface specification. Also, Alan and I need to 
deal with in the MetaFun code and documentation. At some point Taco and 
Mojca might want granularity in the Wiki. We'll see. I have no clue when 
users will have switched to lmtx for production anyway, as it's not 
something we want to enforce. (fwfw: I run lmtx by default.)

Well, it was only an idea... which seems to be wrong.

Many thanks for your help,
