It goes via XML IIRC. cheers, /Christian but it shows that this can be done, so an online latex collaboration tool should be possible, if it concentrated on latex and related such as bibtex, then it would be a very powerful tool. http://codepad.org/ Paul -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknbIXgACgkQaggq1k2FJq2X4wCfVbeU29Ma9uZnxyn/dxSvO65i FjEAn37CbTdBDSjrUs+D70+ueTcIUsHV =kexE -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Christian Ridderström Mobile: +46-70 687 39 44
LyX vs Word processors
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I accidently sent this to Typhoon, so have now posted to the right place , (hopefully) Seems to be that ReST would yet another markup to learn, where as if we stick to say Latex or plain text, we use what we are familar with, and can go back to concentrating on content, which is one of the main points of latex. pastebin supports LaTex, so i what would be needed is some sort of website that people working on a paper can log in to, and paste bits of code, and then perhaps upload pdf, ps, or dvi files to link to the code, Or even better something like this http://codepad.org/ which supports programming languages but set up to deal with latex, online so select output, hit compile and it produces a pdf or whatever on the remote server for the team to download and review.
