Mem. A multilingual environment for LaTeX with Aleph
Mem provides an experimental environment for multilingual
and multiscript typesetting with LaTeX in the Aleph
typesetting system. Aleph is Unicode-savvy and combines
features of Omega and eTeX. With Mem you should be able to
typeset Unicode documents mixing several languages and
several scripts taking advantage of its built-in OCP
mechanism and with a high level interface.
Currently Mem is still under study and development and in
its present state are not intended to be a fully
functional package. The first experimental code was
presented in Tokyo (Japan) in 2001 with the name of
Lambda, and after a pause work is again in progress with
the new name of Mem and with a major overhaul.
Mem is designed to be capable of following the development
of Omega and LaTeX3, and I'm publishing it to encourage
other people to think about the ideas behind it and to
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of several
approachs to the involved problems. The project is now
hosted in the public respository SourceForge.org to open
its development to other people:
http://mem-latex.sourceforge.net
A talk is scheduled for the forthcoming EuroTeX 2005 and
Mem will be available on CTAN soon.
