I really thought that you used such a thing for a long time, having done so
much for Org-Babel. Maybe you were more interested by the execution stuff,
rather than its printing? For me, the opposite: I was much interested by the
printing, now by accessing all the power of Babel.

I share your point. I'm willing to participate, or even begin, such a page on
Worg, with the above info.

For sure, that'd be nice. You mean the way htmlize works, and keeps my colors,
right?
Dunno what it implies for Org-LaTeX... Generating your own class customization,
and having it loaded by default (in the list of LaTeX packages)?

Never heard about it before, while I'm trying to follow info about TeX as
well.
I'm very impressed by the quality and reaction time of
french.computers.text.tex. So, I decided to ask them what they thought about
Listings vs Minted.
See on [[http://groups.google.com/groups/search?as_umsgid%3D87lj8gp4rr.fsf%40mundaneum.com][Email from Sébastien Vauban: Listings vs Minted]]
What's interesting is that 2 brilliant people of that list responded on that.
I could try to translate the whole, but there already is a lot. Just
highlighting that they don't trust that much all the facts that have been used
against Listings (and prove what they say): about Utf-8, or the number of
languages, etc.
They agree with one inconvenient of Listings: the fact that, by default, it
uses bad settings (like no color, and proportional font).
On the other hand, they don't like implying the use of an external language to
LaTeX. Impacts on shell-escape.
The discussion is going on. I'll keep you posted.
For sure, the objective of getting better out-of-the-box is a goal we can
reach.
Best regards,
Seb
