Compilers will statically check the code to ensure no violations. A library is available now, with a static checking tool to follow in October.

Submission + - MS Word 2010 takes on TeX

Submitted by alphabetsoup
alphabetsoup writes: Office 2010 Technology preview was leaked a few days back. With its leak, a feature which was rumored to be present can now be confirmed. Office 2010 finally adds support for Advanced Typographic features (ligatures, number forms, alternates, etc.) of OpenType, allowing one to create documents so far possible only in TeX or InDesign.

Between this, the new equation editor and styles, what are the chances of Word replacing LaTeX as the editor of choice in academia ?
