Wow, that's impressive, I wasn't aware of that. Cool!

That's understandable, I think I'm one of the few crazy people who tries 
to read all messages to keep up on what's going on and reply to as many 
as I can when I have an answer to a question... My post count is below 
Robert Osfield's but not by much last time I checked :-)

In our company we use both, so I'm trying to develop (or at least 
suggest) improvements to both plugins to get to the same result. I would 
like to base our new content creation pipeline on these plugins as much 
as possible.

Great to hear that you're open to making things similar in both. It will 
make it simpler on our side when the time comes to read the output of 
both plugins in our engine :-)

Yes, "skylark13". Why?

Thanks,
