Hi All,
LPub fans may be aware that I'm planning on adding scripting language
support into LPub to let the *power* users do what they want, including
prototyping new features that may someday be incorporated directly into LPub.
The idea behind providing a scripting language into LPub potentially
provides support for batch renderings of individual images or multiple sets
of building instructions, intelligent web page generation with advanced page
layout capabilities, label maker capabilities, and pre and post processing
of LPub's outputs at each phase of the building instruction generation process.
I've not really decided if the scripting language will be perl or Tcl. I
have started working on the capabilities the scripting language needs (the
interface between your scripts and LPub's C++ code.) I've outlined some of
the ideas in http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dev/~1527 for those who want to
review and feedback.
Feedback on the choice of perl or Tcl is also welcome. I much prefer
perl's scripting syntax over Tcl's, plus I know perl.
Kevin
