TextPath opened
I have released my work on TextPath as part of the pyxmlwiki project, under the same Apache 2.0 license.
(As you will recall, my initial strategy was to use the code as 'advertising' for my consulting business. Since that business is closing down, the new strategy is to open it up for whoever can find it useful. Enjoy!)
Like the rest of the code there, it is available under CVS. I'm also just now playing around with the SourceForge File Release System, so there's a downloadable package. If you spot any problems, let me know.
Code notes: features a hand-crafted tokenizer with strategic lookaheads to really figure out what the current token is without a lot of futz. Includes unit tests inline (that is, separate from the rest of the PyXMLWiki tests).

No code up on CVS to show how I might use it?
'd appreciate it if you
could provide some outline code?
