You know ... I would really like them to do a version of TeX/LaTeX like this. If they can do this they could do a neato XeTeX implementation no problem.

#52Last year I've used Google Apps Script to automate a spreadsheet, it worked very well and that spreadsheet is still used inside my company. It's not very complex, all together maybe 200 lines of code, with tests. But, I'm not sure if I would do it again. Development style is not enjoyable, coding inside textarea with syntax highlighting is simply not good enough. I would prefer to use my text editor and some way to d…
Your comment reminded me of a post I saw on here a few months back, a commandline interface for google apps (including docs):

But seriously, you're kidding right? Here's microsoft's answer to the diff and merge question: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-... Granted, excel is a powerful tool for an individual to work with, but for teams working with a large number of complex sheets the model breaks down quickly. Keeping up with changes and versions using excel is a nightmare.
That's what Sharepoint is for :) Also Word/Excel 2010 have excellent change management tools which integrate nicely with mercurial and SVN built in (under review changes). You have to frig a couple of command line switches to get it to work but TortoiseSVN has those preconfigured. EDIT: answers.microsoft.com is full of trash - ignore it...
Just tried it - AMAZING!

NOTE: this is NOT a troll. I know a great tool for the job. It works fine with source control and allows documents to be diffed and merged. The editor is 100% offline as is the product or it can be 100% online at will. No need to push changes to server - just replicate/copy. If you fancy collaboration tools you can use use extensive ones on a subscription basis. It's got a well documented SDK and an interface that yo…
How come Excel works fine with source control? It is a binary blob and diff and merge are done with Excel itself, not the version control's merge and diff (which may or may not be what you want). What are those collaboration tools for Excel? This is an honest question: all I see is some spreadsheet on shared drive or Sharepoint with some ad hoc process around editing, making sure the need for the merge is avoided.
Excel files are simply zip files with XML in them.

Can you elaborate on Common Lisp automation...
Via COM. Technically any language with a COM or DCOM bridge will work fine. lispworks has one and there is a route via the CLR here:

Indeed.
We have 400+ page documents in the system and they all work nicely :)

#60I cant seem to be able to run a closure. The editor says: no functions to run.
Consider this code: var i = (function () { var k = 1; return function () { return ++k; } } () );
i();
