would be curious to hear will's perspective, but afaict: pandoc would be fine for basic latex stuff, but (a) won't support all of the fancy tex shit i know people try to pull, and (b) would need to be seriously hacked to support understanding the way nota does
I've never used pandoc so I can't give a great answer (paging @sliminality).
But pandoc seems built for purely declarative formats -- markdown, HTML, so on. A paper-writing lang needs to be a proper programming language, like TeX or Javascript. Support for variables, loops, etc
You could have a metaprogramming language around your declarative format. But IME, this is infinitely worse than a language designed to fluidly move between display and logic. React is, subsequently, the best UI framework I've ever used.
Another factor: I could easily train an average programmer to contribute to Nota, or design a component for Nota. How long would it take someone to modify acmart.cls?
"A paper-writing lang needs to be a proper programming language, like TeX or Javascript. Support for variables, loops, etc" -- woah that's a bit of a bold claim!
A deep belief of mine! * A sufficiently complicated paper usually needs at least variables / macros. Then you need a model of scope, substitution, etc. * An ecosystem of components needs programming capabilities, e.g. generating a table of contents.
Hello good morning did someone say pandoc? Anyways, I agree with Will that this kind of interactivity goes a bit beyond pandoc's native capabilities, though it could be potentially be implemented as a filter and HTML template. (I believe you can write JS in <script> tags, though)
I think pandoc is the way forward for today's paper-writing. And it provides significantly greater flexibility as an IR targeting different outputs (including the paper of the future). But if one desires a richer DSL, it'd require at least extending pandoc.
