Simply take your british document and use the textstyle dialog to mark

I'll guess that beer's pretty safe.
I've got the book I'm presently writing spread out over several files.
This leads to certain challenges relating to file inclusion---see the

have been a few times I've wanted to do global search-and-replaces, but
most of those times what I've wanted to do has been complicated enough
that I've needed the power of perl's regular expressions to do it
anyway. It's so simple to write filters in perl:
while () { ... }
that it's really a non-issue. Indeed, the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings;
#my %sr = (@ARGV);
my $text = do { local($/); STDIN; };
for (my $i = 0; $i scalar @ARGV; $i += 2) {
my $k = $ARGV[$i];
my $v = $ARGV[$i + 1];
#We use the null character as delimiter
#and specify multiline matches and global replacement
my $code = \$text =~ s\000$k\000$v\000sg;
eval $code or die(Error in pattern for $k = $v.\n);
}
print $text;
is a complete such program. (We should really add options to allow the
choice of multiline, case insensitive, etc. Not hard to do.) Save it as
srfilter.pl, make it executable, and use it like this:
srfilter.pl 'hello' 'goodbye' 'I\'m' 'I am' '([A-Z])\*=)' '\wanc{$1}' input.lyx
That will replace hello with goodbye, I'm with I am, and
something like Q*= with \wanc{Q} globally in input.lyx and write the
new file to the screen. (The last is something I actually had to do,
along with several other such replacements.) Note the use of single
quotes to protect shell metacharacters from expansion or interpolation.
Of course, you can also use sed, or the perl-based srep (on CPAN).
If you want to apply srfilter.pl it to a bunch of files at once, use the
shell's own mechanisms:
for fil in *.lyx; do srfilter.pl 'hello' 'goodbye' $fil new.$fil; done
That's bash. If you use something else, adapt as necessary.

Re: Flush Text with Graphics
Float placement in LaTeX is a black art. The default float placement allows LaTeX to put figures in the places it deems best considering the various page-breaking requirements. This is not that unusual in books and articles: A figure might go at the top of the page on which its referenced, etc. The here definitely option forces LaTeX to put the figure where it occurs in the text. This can cause problems with page breaks: If there's not enough room for the figure on the current page, it will get bumped to the next page, and you'll be left with a lot of white space. It seems likely that something along these lines is happening here. If you have something like: Figure 1.1 GRAPHIC IMAGE Some text. Figure 1.2 GRAPHIC IMAGE More text. then you'll get ugly pages if Some Text only takes us two thirds of the way down the page but the second graphic is too big to fit. What you're seeing with changing margins probably has to do with the same thing. One solution may be to use the here definitely option only on certain figures, if the placement seems too far from what you'd like. You can add this option (just an h, I'd think) in the extra options pane of the graphics dialog. Note what this means: If you want always to have the figure with the paragraph, you're going to have to do a lot of tweaking with its placement to avoid bad page breaks. That's a sign you may be trying to control layout too much.

Re: Flush Text with Graphics
Dave Jarvis wrote: The book Entanglement by Amir D. Aczel does exactly the style that I want. He references his images beforehand and sacrifices a bit of whitespace at the bottom of the page if the images do not fit nicely. However, the text is always flush with the graphic. And, as I mentioned, I can use the default margins to get exactly the behaviour that I want. As soon as I tweak the margins, though, the vertical spacing goes haywire. Surely there's a way to do this in LyX or (La)TeX? As I said, it seems as if the margins can't really be the problem. You're probably just getting lucky with the default margins. But I suppose it is possible that you're seeing some weird interaction between the geometry package, which is what LyX uses to control page sizing, and the float placement mechanisms. You might try using one of the koma-script classes and the scrpage2 package. You'd have to set page size manually, in the preamble, to do that. There are probably other ways to handle margins as well. The other option is to get real familiar with LaTeX page layout and float placement. I'm no expert on this. In fact, I never use floats---I'm a philosopher---so haven't had any reason to study it. But there is a good treatment in the /LaTeX Companion/. You might also just try the here if possible setting and see how close that gets you. Oh, and you might try putting \raggedbottom in ERT right at the beginning of your document. This will allow the bottoms of pages not to line up. That they do, by default, is why you're seeing lots of whitespace in the middle of the page.

Using ACM and APA styles in LyX?
Hello all, I'm new to tex/latex/lyx but need to write papers in ACM and APA formats. I see that the package texlive-publishers includes APA and ACM document classes, and I have the package installed, but lyx does not see those templates. How can I use lyx to write APA and ACM papers? I also need my citations and bibliographies to be in the proper APA format, but lyx seems to only give three types citation styles?

Re: Using ACM and APA styles in LyX?
LyX does have an APA layout, so you should be able to use it. Check to make sure you do have the APA document class installed and that LaTeX can see it (run texhash as root) and then reconfigure LyX (Tools Reconfigure). You can use Tools Tex Info to check what LyX thinks is there. I don't see an ACM layout. Anybody got one? It's unlikely it'd be hard to create one if not. As for references, natbib isn't a bibliography style but something more general. You can use apalike with it, to be sure. You can also use apacite by itself (and the apa.layout file seems to load apacite.sty, which you'd also want). Just choose default for your citation style and then, when you put the bibliography in its place (Insert List Bibliography), choose apacite as your style. Of course, you'll need to make sure that's installed, too. Richard B. Bogart wrote: Hello all, I'm new to tex/latex/lyx but need to write papers in ACM and APA formats.

Re: Using ACM and APA styles in LyX?

Re: Centering symbols in tables (2)
Alexandru Mustatea wrote:
This is in reply to Paul A. Rubin's request (sorry for breaking
the thread, email problem). The LaTeX code that produced the good
output is below. I also forgot to mention that I'm using LyX 1.4.3.
Now, the workaround would be to export to LaTeX and then hack the
resulting file manually, but maybe things could be done more elegantly
in LyX.
\be
\begin{array}{c}
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{q-skein1sf.eps}\end{array}=A(\lambda)\begin{array}{c}
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{q-skein2sf.eps}\end{array}+B(\lambda)\begin{array}{c}
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{q-skein3sf.eps}\end{array}.
\ee
A.M.
I was able to reproduce this in LyX, using the following steps:
1. If the image files are not in EPS format, use ImageMagick to convert
them to EPS. (I copied the PNG file from your web page, chopped it into
three separate images, and converted them to EPS.)
2. If the document is not going to contain any images outside math
environments, add \usepackage{graphicx} to the document preamble. (LyX
automatically does this for you if it sees images being included, but it
does not see them if they are in math environments -- or headers/footers
IIRC.)
3. Insert a displayed equation containing []=A(\lambda)[]+B(\lambda)[],
where [] is my way of indicating a 1x1 array. The default inserted
array is 2x2; you have to delete a row and a column. Fortunately, this
is easy with toolbar buttons if you turn on the math toolbar (or by
keyboard shortcuts).
4. Put the cursor in the first 1x1 array cell and type
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{q-skein1sf.eps}. Make sure that, when you
are done typing, the \ disappears (signaling that LyX recognized this as
a command). Occasionally, when pasting things in, I forget to follow up
with a space, and LyX ends up treating \includegraphics as literal text
(detectable because the \ is still visible).
That should do it. One other note, though. LyX currently does not have
scrollable math insets, and even with the LyX window maximized I could
not edit the last \includegraphics command. A workaround is to define
abbreviations in the preamble. For instance, I put
\newcommand{\Lx}{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{q-skein1sf.eps}}
in the preamble and then just \Lx (followed by a space!) in the leftmost
1x1 array.
This may be a bit tedious, but it works.

The above solution becomes less easy when you have several parameters
you want to change at once and several files in a document. In fact the
real solution wopould be to have different classes or customized
classes. Which is basically what Framemaker does when you change from
one template to another and export it to all the files.
However, my point was that Framemaker makes this, and other tasks,
easier. Read---less time consuming and error prone. On a similar point
raised earlier: suggesting that multi-file search-and-replace could be
done with a perl script seems to me to be beside the point. Or would
you consider hacking perl 'easy'? Not for me, for sure, and, I would
dare say, not for a large majority of writers.
Is is nonetheless true that LyX has reached a point of maturity where
this and other annoyances are outweighed by the benefits. One can only
hope it will keep getting better and better

texlive math problems
Hello, Are there any known issues with math characters and texlive? Under texlive and LyX 1.4.3 I opened a couple of chapters of my thesis and some math characters were displayed incorrectly. For instance, rho was displayed as 'ae' not a squirly 'p'. Because of this I uninstalled texlive and installed tetex. Now everything is displayed correctly. So I'm assuming there is a package that needs to be installed under texlive, but I'm not sure what it would be since no errors were detected under LyX the characters were just displayed incorrectly in LyX and corresponding pdf's. I tried eliminating everything in my preamble and setting everything to default and it still appeared. Then I tried with new documents and everything would be fine for awhile and then all of a sudden the characters would not be correct. I just couldn't pick up on any consistent behavior, it was very erratic. So I gave up and installed tetex. I don't really expect a resolution since I've already uninstalled texlive and tetex seems to work perfectly fine for me. I just wanted to see if anyone knew of any issues under ubuntu-edgy and LyX 1.4.3 with texlive. Thanks, Bob Lounsbury

This kind of thing can be made easier, if you use file includes. Put
what you need into a file preamble.sty---you don't need an entire class,
just a package---and then include that from each of your subdocuments.
Make whatever changes you need to make in preamble.sty, which may just
mean commenting out some stuff and uncommenting other stuff. Or you can
define a \newif and use a conditional to choose among different
possibilities and then just change \ifdraftrue to \ifdraftfalse at the
beginning of preamble.sty.
There are issues that can arise here, but they aren't that hard to
resolve. There's some stuff I posted on the wiki that's relevant. Note,
however, that most of that will only be an issue when you are just
compiling parts of the document. If you're compiling the whole document,
then the commands in the preamble of the master document are the only
ones LaTeX will see: The preambles of sub-documents are only visible to
LyX.
On a similar point raised earlier: suggesting that multi-file
search-and-replace could be done with a perl script seems to me to be
beside the point. Or would you consider hacking perl 'easy'? Not for
me, for sure, and, I would dare say, not for a large majority of writers.
I wasn't suggesting you should have to hack perl. The point was that
there are simple scripts out there that can be used to do very powerful
search and replace. The script I posted doesn't need to be hacked. It
just needs to be saved and used. (Other scripts do the same thing. I
just wrote it to kill time.) Don't want to use regexes? Don't have to.
Granted, multi-file search and replace would be a nice thing to have
within LyX, and a more important thing is that search and replace in LyX
doesn't see everything in the file. So, yes, I think that's a place
improvement would be welcome.
Part of the issue here, I think, is that LyX isn't a stand-alone product
but a front-end to LaTeX. It doesn't look that way, and it's not meant
to look that way. A large part of the idea seems to be to let people do
a whole lot without knowing any LaTeX at all, and a lot of people use
LyX comfortably without ever having to go beyond that. But there are
some of us who need or want to do more. Sometimes, such people need, as
much as anything, to unlearn bad habits and stop trying to control the
layout so much. But, as I said, some of us need to do more, and then
that means getting down and dirty with LaTeX. There's really no way
everything that's possible in LaTeX can be put on a menu. But if you do
make heavy use of LaTeX, then it can easily seem like LyX gets in the
way. It can make you want to have a document with nothing but ERT!
(Speaking of which, sometimes the best solution to a search and replace
problem is to export to LaTeX, do the edits there, and then re-import to
LyX.) But mostly it's a matter of figuring out how to make the best of
the combination. Fortunately, there are lots of people here who've had
experience with that, so we don't all have to re-invent the wheel. File
includes and redefinitions of commands seem to be the most useful
techniques here. And if you want to post specific issues, I'd be happy
to help work them out, as I'm sure many other people would, also. That,
of course, is the really nice thing about F/OSS: The community that goes
with it.
Well, that said: It's nice to see another philosopher on the list!

Bibliography layout problems using the Document Class - Report(koma-script)
I have added a bibliography to a document which uses the Document Class - Report (koma-script). Although the rest of the document is a single column, the bibliography seems to be formatted as a two column. I use the word seems, because only the right column is being used. The left column is empty. Is there a default setting for the Bibliography to be two-column. Is there something else going on that I am missing. Thanks ahead of time. Will DeShazer

Centering symbols in tables
Hello everybody! I need to produce a line of mathematical text resembling the one at http://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~mustatea/right.png . What you see was produced in LaTeX by inserting graphics in an array, a thing that apparently I cannot do with LyX. Instead, I chose to use tables and even though I choose to align my symbols centered and middle, I keep obtaining lines like the one at http://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~mustatea/wrong.png . Could you please help me to center the plus and equal symbols? Thank you. A. M.

You don't need to do this manually.
Simply take your british document and use the textstyle dialog to mark
parts of the text as greek. LyX will then take care about the babel
options, character encoding and will set the \selectlanguage
correctly.
Attached is an example file.
In the upcoming LyX 1.5 it is possible that greek characters are also
displayed as such.
That's a great solution I didn't know of. But the attached file doesn't
work for me. LyX does pass greek and english to the documentclass
declaration, but it does not insert appropriate babel declarations. Is
this supposed to be done by the article class? The end result, on my
configuration, is that all the resulting text is in English, not Greek.
Looking at the exported LaTeX file, I noticed that when Greek text is
supposed to begin LyX inserts only:
\inputencoding{iso-8859-7}
Isn't supposed to insert also a
\textanguage{greek} ?

If you can find a word processor that fast I pay you a beer ;-)
I'll guess that beer's pretty safe.
I've got the book I'm presently writing spread out over several files.
This leads to certain challenges relating to file inclusion---see the
wiki for my solutions---but otherwise I've had no problems at all. There
have been a few times I've wanted to do global search-and-replaces, but
most of those times what I've wanted to do has been complicated enough
that I've needed the power of perl's regular expressions to do it
anyway. It's so simple to write filters in perl:
while () { ... }
that it's really a non-issue. Indeed, the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings;
#my %sr = (@ARGV);
my $text = do { local($/); STDIN; };
for (my $i = 0; $i scalar @ARGV; $i += 2) {
my $k = $ARGV[$i];
my $v = $ARGV[$i + 1];
#We use the null character as delimiter
#and specify multiline matches and global replacement
my $code = \$text =~ s\000$k\000$v\000sg;
eval $code or die(Error in pattern for $k = $v.\n);
}
print $text;
is a complete such program. (We should really add options to allow the
choice of multiline, case insensitive, etc. Not hard to do.) Save it as
srfilter.pl, make it executable, and use it like this:
srfilter.pl 'hello' 'goodbye' 'I\'m' 'I am' '([A-Z])\*=)' '\wanc{$1}' input.lyx
That will replace hello with goodbye, I'm with I am, and
something like Q*= with \wanc{Q} globally in input.lyx and write the
new file to the screen. (The last is something I actually had to do,
along with several other such replacements.) Note the use of single
quotes to protect shell metacharacters from expansion or interpolation.
Of course, you can also use sed, or the perl-based srep (on CPAN).
If you want to apply srfilter.pl it to a bunch of files at once, use the
shell's own mechanisms:
for fil in *.lyx; do srfilter.pl 'hello' 'goodbye' $fil new.$fil; done
That's bash. If you use something else, adapt as necessary.

Re: Flush Text with Graphics
Float placement in LaTeX is a black art. The default float placement allows LaTeX to put figures in the places it deems best considering the various page-breaking requirements. This is not that unusual in books and articles: A figure might go at the top of the page on which its referenced, etc. The here definitely option forces LaTeX to put the figure where it occurs in the text. This can cause problems with page breaks: If there's not enough room for the figure on the current page, it will get bumped to the next page, and you'll be left with a lot of white space. It seems likely that something along these lines is happening here. If you have something like: Figure 1.1 GRAPHIC IMAGE Some text. Figure 1.2 GRAPHIC IMAGE More text. then you'll get ugly pages if Some Text only takes us two thirds of the way down the page but the second graphic is too big to fit. What you're seeing with changing margins probably has to do with the same thing. One solution may be to use the here definitely option only on certain figures, if the placement seems too far from what you'd like. You can add this option (just an h, I'd think) in the extra options pane of the graphics dialog. Note what this means: If you want always to have the figure with the paragraph, you're going to have to do a lot of tweaking with its placement to avoid bad page breaks. That's a sign you may be trying to control layout too much.

Re: Flush Text with Graphics
Dave Jarvis wrote: The book Entanglement by Amir D. Aczel does exactly the style that I want. He references his images beforehand and sacrifices a bit of whitespace at the bottom of the page if the images do not fit nicely. However, the text is always flush with the graphic. And, as I mentioned, I can use the default margins to get exactly the behaviour that I want. As soon as I tweak the margins, though, the vertical spacing goes haywire. Surely there's a way to do this in LyX or (La)TeX? As I said, it seems as if the margins can't really be the problem. You're probably just getting lucky with the default margins. But I suppose it is possible that you're seeing some weird interaction between the geometry package, which is what LyX uses to control page sizing, and the float placement mechanisms. You might try using one of the koma-script classes and the scrpage2 package. You'd have to set page size manually, in the preamble, to do that. There are probably other ways to handle margins as well. The other option is to get real familiar with LaTeX page layout and float placement. I'm no expert on this. In fact, I never use floats---I'm a philosopher---so haven't had any reason to study it. But there is a good treatment in the /LaTeX Companion/. You might also just try the here if possible setting and see how close that gets you. Oh, and you might try putting \raggedbottom in ERT right at the beginning of your document. This will allow the bottoms of pages not to line up. That they do, by default, is why you're seeing lots of whitespace in the middle of the page.

Using ACM and APA styles in LyX?

You can use Tools Tex Info to check what LyX thinks is there. I don't see an ACM layout. Anybody got one? It's unlikely it'd be hard to create one if not. As for references, natbib isn't a bibliography style but something more general. You can use apalike with it, to be sure. You can also use apacite by itself (and the apa.layout file seems to load apacite.sty, which you'd also want).

I was able to reproduce this in LyX, using the following steps:
1. If the image files are not in EPS format, use ImageMagick to convert
them to EPS. (I copied the PNG file from your web page, chopped it into
three separate images, and converted them to EPS.)
2. If the document is not going to contain any images outside math
environments, add \usepackage{graphicx} to the document preamble. (LyX
automatically does this for you if it sees images being included, but it
does not see them if they are in math environments -- or headers/footers
IIRC.)
3. Insert a displayed equation containing []=A(\lambda)[]+B(\lambda)[],
where [] is my way of indicating a 1x1 array. The default inserted
array is 2x2; you have to delete a row and a column. Fortunately, this
is easy with toolbar buttons if you turn on the math toolbar (or by
keyboard shortcuts).
4. Put the cursor in the first 1x1 array cell and type
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{q-skein1sf.eps}. Make sure that, when you
are done typing, the \ disappears (signaling that LyX recognized this as
a command). Occasionally, when pasting things in, I forget to follow up
with a space, and LyX ends up treating \includegraphics as literal text
(detectable because the \ is still visible).
That should do it. One other note, though. LyX currently does not have
scrollable math insets, and even with the LyX window maximized I could
not edit the last \includegraphics command. A workaround is to define
abbreviations in the preamble. For instance, I put
\newcommand{\Lx}{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{q-skein1sf.eps}}
in the preamble and then just \Lx (followed by a space!) in the leftmost
1x1 array.
This may be a bit tedious, but it works.

The above solution becomes less easy when you have several parameters
you want to change at once and several files in a document. In fact the
real solution wopould be to have different classes or customized
classes. Which is basically what Framemaker does when you change from
one template to another and export it to all the files.
However, my point was that Framemaker makes this, and other tasks,
easier. Read---less time consuming and error prone. On a similar point
raised earlier: suggesting that multi-file search-and-replace could be
done with a perl script seems to me to be beside the point. Or would
you consider hacking perl 'easy'? Not for me, for sure, and, I would
dare say, not for a large majority of writers.
Is is nonetheless true that LyX has reached a point of maturity where
this and other annoyances are outweighed by the benefits. One can only
hope it will keep getting better and better

texlive math problems
Hello, Are there any known issues with math characters and texlive? Under texlive and LyX 1.4.3 I opened a couple of chapters of my thesis and some math characters were displayed incorrectly. For instance, rho was displayed as 'ae' not a squirly 'p'. Because of this I uninstalled texlive and installed tetex. Now everything is displayed correctly. So I'm assuming there is a package that needs to be installed under texlive, but I'm not sure what it would be since no errors were detected under LyX the characters were just displayed incorrectly in LyX and corresponding pdf's. I tried eliminating everything in my preamble and setting everything to default and it still appeared. Then I tried with new documents and everything would be fine for awhile and then all of a sudden the characters would not be correct. I just couldn't pick up on any consistent behavior, it was very erratic. So I gave up and installed tetex. I don't really expect a resolution since I've already uninstalled texlive and tetex seems to work perfectly fine for me. I just wanted to see if anyone knew of any issues under ubuntu-edgy and LyX 1.4.3 with texlive. Thanks, Bob Lounsbury

tex4ht and LaTeX music applications?
I'm not sure this will help, my son uses Lilypond. While he complains about some difficulty, the program typesets in latex very easily, so you may be able to use it to include your notation in Lyx. The only two other programs he wants cost about $700.00. I installed Lilypond for him from Fink (for Mac) and didn't like it, so I googled it and downloaded direct and it works well, but I can't remember from where off hand.

These resources are going to be very helpful as I continue to learn about TeX, LaTeX, XML and such. Being an author of music instruction materials as well, my primary use and interest in LyX/TeX is not as a mathematician or scientist. I love the way LyX let's me concentrate on the content, and avails me of a wide-range of symbols as I need them. Unlike many authors of music materials, my need for music notation is less critical because the type of things I teach (mainly to professional and other aspiring musicians). For rhythmic and also standard notation however, I do have occasional needs. I would really prefer to use typography rather than bitmaps.

Well, that is true by definition---everything can be done in LaTeX!
[for some very broad definition of 'everything,' at least ;-)]
The above solution becomes less easy when you have several parameters
you want to change at once and several files in a document. In fact
the real solution would be to have different classes or customized
classes. Which is basically what Framemaker does when you change from
one template to another and export it to all the files.
However, my point was that Framemaker makes this, and other tasks,
easier. Read---less time consuming and error prone.
This kind of thing can be made easier, if you use file includes. Put
what you need into a file preamble.sty---you don't need an entire class,
just a package---and then include that from each of your subdocuments.
Make whatever changes you need to make in preamble.sty, which may just
mean commenting out some stuff and uncommenting other stuff. Or you can
define a \newif and use a conditional to choose among different
possibilities and then just change \ifdraftrue to \ifdraftfalse at the
beginning of preamble.sty.
There are issues that can arise here, but they aren't that hard to
resolve. There's some stuff I posted on the wiki that's relevant. Note,
however, that most of that will only be an issue when you are just
compiling parts of the document. If you're compiling the whole document,
then the commands in the preamble of the master document are the only
ones LaTeX will see: The preambles of sub-documents are only visible to
LyX.
On a similar point raised earlier: suggesting that multi-file
search-and-replace could be done with a perl script seems to me to be
beside the point. Or would you consider hacking perl 'easy'? Not for
me, for sure, and, I would dare say, not for a large majority of writers.
I wasn't suggesting you should have to hack perl. The point was that
there are simple scripts out there that can be used to do very powerful
search and replace. The script I posted doesn't need to be hacked. It
just needs to be saved and used. (Other scripts do the same thing. I
just wrote it to kill time.) Don't want to use regexes? Don't have to.
Granted, multi-file search and replace would be a nice thing to have
within LyX, and a more important thing is that search and replace in LyX
doesn't see everything in the file. So, yes, I think that's a place
improvement would be welcome.
Part of the issue here, I think, is that LyX isn't a stand-alone product
but a front-end to LaTeX. It doesn't look that way, and it's not meant
to look that way. A large part of the idea seems to be to let people do
a whole lot without knowing any LaTeX at all, and a lot of people use
LyX comfortably without ever having to go beyond that. But there are
some of us who need or want to do more. Sometimes, such people need, as
much as anything, to unlearn bad habits and stop trying to control the
layout so much. But, as I said, some of us need to do more, and then
that means getting down and dirty with LaTeX. There's really no way
everything that's possible in LaTeX can be put on a menu. But if you do
make heavy use of LaTeX, then it can easily seem like LyX gets in the
way. It can make you want to have a document with nothing but ERT!
(Speaking of which, sometimes the best solution to a search and replace
problem is to export to LaTeX, do the edits there, and then re-import to
LyX.) But mostly it's a matter of figuring out how to make the best of
the combination. Fortunately, there are lots of people here who've had
experience with that, so we don't all have to re-invent the wheel. File
includes and redefinitions of commands seem to be the most useful
techniques here. And if you want to post specific issues, I'd be happy
to help work them out, as I'm sure many other people would, also. That,
of course, is the really nice thing about F/OSS: The community that goes
with it.
Well, that said: It's nice to see another philosopher on the list!
