Hi Largo,

Apologies for being a bit off topic but have a look at Scrivener which uses 
rtf files but can compile to .doc and .docx (though I have never used 
these). Scrivener is excellent for a master document with multiple sub 
documents - allowing great flexibility. That is exactly what Scrivener is 
designed to do. There's a free 30 day trial and it runs on MacOs and 
Windows. And now my question. 

I paid for both the Windows and MacOs versions of Scrivener and I love it - 
 I use its Latex compile options to get to pdf from markdown but great as 
it is Scrivener doesn't have the power of Leo, and I would rather have all 
my eggs in one basket. 

So I'm very interested in your workflow that gets you out of Leo to pdf via 
Latex.  I'm not at all technical but if there is a straightforward work 
flow I'd love to see it.  As a simple soul I need something like Auctex in 
Emacs - press Ctrl C twice and your document gets Latexed!
