I expected as much, no harm in asking.

Whether it is within the scope of Abiword is arguable, the users will do
things with your software you wont expect. Abiword might end up
supporting equation editors and math markup language.
I tried to write a Word Macro to simulate syntax coloring so that i
could get a shameless wasteful color printout of my code for a
presentation, if i knew any Perl i might consider writing a plugin.
i wont add an RFE.

Thanks anyway.
Alan
