Yes and No. It depends on the tools (toolchains) we want to use. As far as I can see from a abstract POV it should by simple for math:: / since we already use/need LaTeX for PDF, for other tools I have to look. I general I think, we should not include Java into our toolchains even if it is optional. Thats, why I won't vote for http://plantuml.com/ aafigure: has dependencies [1] to reportlab (which is IMO inapposite) and PIL, which is outdated / and aafigure itself seems outdated [2]. seqdiag: requires blockdiag and this requires Pillow ... until here its seems not bad, but there is also some "optional" dependencies to ImageMagick and reportlab (both smells). IMO a tool which generates SVG would be the best, I have to check if I find some or if some of the above could used in this way. For this I need time ;-) ... ATM I work in a custom project but I hope I will find next week time to dig more deeper. -- Markus -- [1] https://pythonhosted.org/sphinxcontrib-aafig/#requirements [2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~aafigure-team/aafigure/trunk/files
