Totally agree on the topic of a meeting or tutorial. The Pro Git book, published by Apress, is actually written in markdown with SVGs used for diagrams. https://github.com/progit/progit I agree that there is no better tool than Latex for a Math book... but it's not the best tool for all types of typesetting. For one, just try to do multi-page tables in Latex, and you'll find you're wasting a lot of time. -Bart _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
