Well, they could be extracted automatically to a normal
lua file, but you had a good point about the \section etc
later on, so a separate file would probably be better
indeed.

And I also prefer the lua style, much less verbose than xml
while still containing all needed info. The Tex-like
stuff was meant as an example of what *could* be done,
but getting a good syntax for that that is still extensible
could be quite hard and why should we bother if the lua
code is readable enough.

However, we *do* have to write a formal description of the
lua syntax to avoid confusion, if this is indeed the way
to go. At this point I think we should ask Hans' how he feels
about this stuff, but unf. he has hardware problems and is
not as reachable as could be. Should be solved in a day or so.


Best wishes,
