I am not interested in requiring that people rebuild their custom
templates in a new system. I am not opposed to supporting other
engines, but I think that backwards compatibility with LaTeX and easy
conversion from SQL-Ledger are going to require that we support it for
the forseable future.
We could, however, offer plugins to support alternatives.
However, a few points:
1) We really ought to revise the LaTeX of the templates to be less
braindead and brittle.
2) We need to make the templating system LyX-friendly
3) We should allow the calls to the templates to hit a different
extension for the template and a different executable to allow for
plugins of this sort.
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
