Wouldn't it make more sense to implement this as improvements to mathtext?
instead of
"Hello <b>world</b>!"
"Hello <span color=blue>world</span>!"
"Hello <span family=serif size=x-small>world</span>"
have
r"\\text\{Hello \\textbf\{world\}\}"
r"\\text\{Hello \\textcolor\{blue\}\{world\}\}"
r"\\text\{Hello \\textsf\{\\small world\}\}"
You'll be able to have a better layout this way too (reusing the mathtext
layout engine).
One could have some helper if "\\text\{\}" is too much to type (but TBH you
immediately gain back on the fact that you don't need closing tags...).

Good question, the only answer we have right now revolves around changing
the MEP number at merge time into trunk. If changing the MEP number exists
as the only thing left to do, then it will get merged straight away, easy,
so no having to come back to change it a 2nd time.
Best,

Thanks Thomas.
Just realized I've an old MEP (MEP28 Matplotlib Developers · GitHub
matplotlib/pull/4384), should I create a MEP29 instead ? How do I know if
someone else is already working on a different MEP 29 ?

matplotlib/tree/master/doc/devel/MEP is the current MEP procedure.

It's far from complete but I would like to know if there's any interest in
that and if it's worth making a MEP (and if yes, could someone remind me
the procedure for doing that ?).
