Ask HN: Why not use “% WYSIWYG/LaTeX” to indicate resemblance to LaTeX output?
The idea is to have a similarity measure between what you see while editing and the output that you care about (e.g., LaTeX output, HTML output, etc.).<p>For example, such a similarity measure could show numerically just how much what you see while editing in TeXmacs is closer to LaTeX output than what you see while in editing in LyX.<p>For LaTeX output, maybe TeXmacs would have &quot;90% WYSIWYG&#x2F;LaTeX&quot; while LyX would have &quot;50% WYSIWYG&#x2F;LaTeX&quot;.<p>For HTML output, maybe TeXmacs would have &quot;80% WYSIWYG&#x2F;HTML&quot; while LyX would have &quot;50% WYSIWYG&#x2F;HTML&quot;.<p>Do you think this would be an improvement over using the term WYSIWYG?<p>Also, how might one define the similarity measure for this purpose?
