This last phrase is no doubt true. You made many good observations. However, is having perfect PDFs a good trade off to NOT having a format that can easily be translated into other languages, a format that is supported by open source tools on multiple platforms and a format that can be reused inside applications? I've looked around at many open source projects and many of them have pretty good looking documentation coming out LaTex source. Some use LyX to produce their PDFs some use Scribus. But almost all of them have multiple language versions. Another important point is that; if Tom were hit by a bus tomorrow.....? --Tim -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
