[erlang-questions] ANN: erlPress_core V. 0.01

[Nathaniel Waisbrot]

This is nice. I love my TeX-generated documents and I love Erlang.

For the lazy, here are the full links to the examples.

Project: https://github.com/writersglen/erlPress_core <https://github.com/writersglen/erlPress_core>
Example document: https://github.com/writersglen/erlPress_core/blob/master/pdf/galleys/ep_show_n_tell.pdf <https://github.com/writersglen/erlPress_core/blob/master/pdf/galleys/ep_show_n_tell.pdf> (for me, GitHub fails to display this inline and I have to download it to see it)
Source of the example document: https://github.com/writersglen/erlPress_core/blob/master/src/tests/ep_show_n_tell.erl <https://github.com/writersglen/erlPress_core/blob/master/src/tests/ep_show_n_tell.erl>

Maybe I'll try a rewrite of my TeX-based resume in erlPress_core.

I wonder if this is something that would benefit from a language with more powerful macros, like Elixir or LFE.
