I saw on James Clark's Jade web page that he would like to see a PDF backend, why PDF rather than PostScript? Anyway if we have one, we pretty much have the other, since there are (if i am not mistaken) converter PS->PDF and PDF->PS..<< Well, I have some difficulties to understand why we should want this all. Currently I use Jade->Jadetex->dvips to create PS output, and yes, there are converters to get this into PDF. But having a PDF or PS backend means AFAIK to bypass the excellent formatting capabilities of TeX. PS does not format a document, but it rather describes a formatted document, so you have to have one in the first place. The same holds true for PDF, or am I completely wrong here?
