Hi, list. For those of you who are interested in creating formated documents but have difficulties in learning things like latex I would suggest tools like txt2tags http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net or muse for emacs http://www.mwolson.org. These tools are using very simple and easy to learn textual markup to convert your plain text into several other formats including latex, html, pdf ETC. >>>>> "b" == bob <bobdodd at gmail.com> writes: b> On 4/3/06, Jane Jordan (gmail) <juanitatighan at gmail.com> wrote: >> Hang on there.
