Well, I began working on it a few days ago, so it was the announcement :P
By now I'm stuck with some issues about perl syntax (I'm so new to this
language) but I hope I'll solve it soon. I'll try to send you something
this or next week (at least to know your opinion on the design).
Nope, I have no idea with regard to the design.
If I had to do so myself, I would give a try to sax parser, when you can attach
events to tags because that's the way the sgml module works. But of course, if
you are the one who does the job, you are the one who takes the design decisions ;)
The only limit is that sentences should not be splitted up in the middle just
because there is a damn <bold> tag in there. But you already know that...
Thanks for your time, Mt.
