pure TeX writer #263

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It could be useful to have a writer that outputs pure TeX, rather than LaTeX, 
and presupposes no special macro packages.  (We could of course define macros 
in the default template, but I think it might be even better if we didn't -- 
since then the output would be useful even in fragment mode.)

Motivation:  if you want to create PDFs using pandoc, you currently need quite 
a bit of latex stuff installed.  It would be nice to have a lighter-weight path 
to PDFs.  The tex binary is only 200K.

We could use these mappings to translate unicode to plain tex:
