Features and stuff I've been working on.

[Luis Anaya <papoanaya@hotmail.com>]

Hi:

I was interchanging emails with Bastien regarding some items I've been
working on for the past few month in my spare time. Some will be posted
into the development branch, but for others I would like to get some
feedback if these should be made available or not in the org-mode
github, they're available on mine (https://github.com/papoanaya/emacs_utils)

New items

ob-mathomatic.el :: Babel mode for Mathomatic. Mathomatic is a CAS written 
in C. Very small and portable. I wrote it out of necessity being that my Atrix 
does not have enough drive space for anything too big.  It supports
plotting via gnuplot. For more information go to. 
(www.mathomatic.org) 

org-groff-mom.el :: Groff exporter using MOM's macros. This one is
almost complete. (http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/mom-01.html)

org-platypus.el :: Exporter mode for Platypus. Platypus is a small 
typesetter written in java that is still in active development. Not 
something I would put in main yet being that there are missing features 
in the typesetter. (like no numbered headings!)  

But it is good enough to play with it. You can see the 
results at https://www.box.com/s/b02f017f0d8854c6cbdb  
(platypus.pz.org)

ob-tcl.el :: I work with TCL daily, I just had to do it. It's a clone of
the ob-perl.el one translated to TCL. This should also work with expect and
ns2. (ww.tcl.tk)

ob-jlang.el :: C'mon, there's nothing cooler than:
#+begin_src jlang :results output
a =. +/%$ 
echo a i. 10
#+end_src
:) This is org babel for JLanguage. This one is still in the works, but
it is functional. It has support for JConsole only (which makes sense). 
(www.jsoftware.com) 

For those curious enough, the code computes the average from 0 to 9. 

ob-newlisp.el :: Why newlisp? Well, there's picolisp and other lisps
available. I use newlisp for a lot for system programming at home, so
there. Based on the ob-picolisp.el code. (www.newlisp.org)

Updated features. These I will post in the org-mode Github after I test them
thoroughly 

org-e-groff.el :: 

1. Ability to inline .PNG and JPEG. It wil use pngtopnm/pngtops or sam2p
for translating raster into Groff. But the process should be
automatic. This enables the use of ditaa on Groff exports. It is
controlled with a variable to allow disabling the feature if none of
these options are available. 
2. Ability to resize pic images. Height and attributes are now available
for .pic images in addition to eps ones.


Regards,
