Kind of report: Announcement.

The canonical meta language (CanonML) continues under active development at laboratory. However, its formal structure, syntax, and basic semantics are already sufficiently developed to be tested in a real production environment such as the Canonical Science Reports journal. As a consequence of the current lack of final specification for CanonML, there exists not native engine that can be used to translate the contents of Canonical Science Reports to pixels in a monitor or dots in a printer. The development of native CanonML rendering engines is left for a future.
After testing alternative models for rendering CanonML contents, an improved TeX engine has been selected for the publishing model of this journal. Several advanced typographical features are available through a TeX engine, including ligatures and pair kerning.
The new format for Canonical Science Reports continues doing an intensive use of color to convey meaning. Readers may also find a broad class of formatting changes. The overall design is fresh and its modern look matches the new vision of Nature offered by canonical science. The new font plays an important role.
This Announcement report gives a concise presentation of CSReport, the preferred submission format for this journal. This package is built over an Unicode extension of TeX, and emphasizes the use of semantic markup and the reusing of code. This presentation includes samples of code showing advantages over 's original version.
