Hi, Yaakov,

OK, yeah, we got that part. The question is, will the use of this format prevent people from starting with the plain text in an ID?

The ID you published is in both txt and pdf, so if someone wanted to start with the plain text in your ID, they could just start with the txt format. If I understood John's question, it was, can we count on having plain text that anyone can start with?

(and if I misunderstood John's question, I'm sure he'll post the real one soon!)

Thanks,

Spencer

If the goal is to allow prettier output while still maintaining the
stability and reusability of plain text, that practically demands an
input format that is plain text underneath

No, the goal (as stated in the ID) is to enable normative drawings and
equations that are
not possible or extremely inelegant in plain text.
