Same boat. I've used LyX/LaTeX for about five years now, and I still know *just* what I need to, and what I need to know is very slim (I have no need of tables, formulas, etc. to write philosophy). > But I *do* think an integrated chicago style would make > Lyx/Latex more popular amongst non-technical people.

Then perhaps one of us ought to take charge and coordinate something. I've never done this before, and the one programming course I had in college is now a distant memory. So I have little idea how to start. Does anyone else on the list want to help? Can any of the wizards out there who know what they are doing take this over?

I used it once, when a journal asked me to send hardcopy in mla. That bst has been around for a while, though, and mla has been through several editions. Besides, I don't really like mla.
