Hi Chris,
Template::Plugin::Latex has an encoding routine which we're *not* using to encode data before being passed to (Xe)LaTeX.
We're contemplating simplifying places in our codebase and one of the changes would be to use the built-in latex_encode. Do you have any recollection with respect to the choice for TeX::Encode and whether we should be fine to move to "latex_encode" all these years later?
I don't see any problems. Right now I'm waiting for ports lock to pass. Then I will push in new stuff. Just let me know once a decision is made and I will make that reflect what needs to go in. We just traveled permanently from Washington state back to Texas, so I'm a little out of touch with the ports mailing list (next list I'm going to check). Ports lock is done to stabilize everything in order to release 6.7 Simplifying is usually a good idea. :-} I'll ping what I have already submitted and send in more modules once things are unlocked. Thanks, Chris Bennett
