Abstract
At TUG 2012, we presented some ideas about using one of the oldest programming languages (Lisp), in order to modernize one of the oldest typesetting systems (TeX). This talk was mostly focused on justifying the technical fitness of Lisp for this task. This time, we would like to take the opposite view and demonstrate a prototype, from the user's perspective. This involves showing what a TiCL document could look like, the implications in terms of typesetting vs. programmatic features, and also in terms of extensibility (relate this to class / style authoring).
