Re: Plain TeX writer

I like the look of this better. But, just to be clear about the costs before it’s set in stone: this means that you couldn’t “reprogram” pandoc Spaces or SoftBreaks using tex macros.  So, for example, you couldn’t make Spaces appear as visible ␠ characters, and you couldn’t make SoftBreaks create hard breaks in the output.

Probably these are acceptable limitations, but I mention them just in case!
