processing. That is why we added text properties and variable
width fonts. However, more features are still needed to achieve this.
Specifically, a major mode with the following features and abilities
should be added to Emacs:
. import / export MS Office documents
. import / export Open Document Format (.odt) files
. import / export RTF files
. export to a PDF file
. select a font and its size
. apply a bold / italic / underline / strikethrough effect
. superscripts / subscripts
. apply a left / center / right / justified effect
. change the font color and the background color
. pixel-level text fill, justification, and indentation (so that
variable-pitch fonts could be freely used)
. create a list
. insert and change a table
. insert a picture
. define / use / modify styles
. print preview / print, in a way that is similar to what's on screen
(e.g., wrt the place where lines wrap)
. use footnotes
. support for "track changes" markings, including those which come
from Office documents
. multiple columns
. change page headers and footers
. save all the properties and settings mentioned above with the text
to a file, so that they are restored when later visiting that file
The existing Enriched mode can be used as a starting point.
** Support ligatures out of the box
