If you have to type *anything* that involves mathematical symbols, there's just nothing else to use. (except for last-minute homework, in which case blank paper and a pen works well. Which is what I'm doing today, heh heh) And regular papers, writeups, etc. look really nice in LaTeX. The average Joe on the street would never be able to figure it out, but if you're a Linux geek-type, LaTeX will seem wonderful. Footnotes, indices, etc are so easy and nice with LaTeX. If it's going on dead trees, it's gotta be LaTeX. > Plus, I hear that Emacs has a nice LaTeX mode (I'm a vim guy myself). Emacs does. It's the only thing in the entire world that Emacs does better than vim. :) Dan -- | 4699 BDCB B1A5 28B6 7F8A F8DF EB6A BC2A B0A1 99BF (GPG) | Dan Drake <drake+tclug at lemongecko.org> | http://lemongecko.org/drake/ | Twin Cities Linux Users Group - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
