The Lollipop TeX Project

Lol­lipop is “TeX made easy” — it is a macro pack­age that func­tions as a tool­box for writ­ing TeX macros. Its main aim is to make macro writ­ing so easy that im­ple­ment­ing a fully new lay­out in TeX would be­come a mat­ter of less than an hour for an av­er­age doc­u­ment. The aim is that such a task could be ac­com­plished by some­one with only a very ba­sic train­ing in TeX pro­gram­ming.
Thus, Lol­lipop aims to make struc­tured text for­mat­ting avail­able in en­vi­ron­ments where typ­i­cal users would switch to WYSIWYG pack­ages for the free­dom that such a mech­a­nism of­fers.

In ad­di­tion, de­vel­op­ment of sup­port for Lol­lipop doc­u­ments writ­ten in RTL lan­guages (such as Persian) is un­der­way.
