Sorry for hijacking the discussion about selecting a format to build into Pkg. By the way, the VerTeX package I made does parse some LaTeX and it also is tied in with the Pkg.jl already also in some ways. It wasn’t intended to be ported into Pkg, but it is partially based on the Pkg.jl manager and is intended to eventually work very similar to Pkg.jl but for decentralized and collaborative LaTeX editing.
I think it would be unlikely that Julia Computing will want to officially collaborate on this with me, but all the ideas are there to make a Pkg.jl similar thing for LaTeX.
Again, apologies for hijacking the discussion, I understand that the Julia folks are mainly only interested in citations and not full collaborative LaTeX.
