i am willing to continue, but i have no time for theoretical work
means the writer is finished as sson as it fullfills what is needed

and i can see some problem s coming up,
interesting for all the project, because this would be the
second writer, but bigger ones, because the first writer and
the whole thing is targeted at html.

html for instances has no page length and no pagewidth, latex needs
this.

if it is ok for julien he could use my sandbox too
, if he needs his own for this, this is ok too
