You could install MacTeX and then write your document in LaTeX with whatever text editor you prefer. TextMate would be a good option. Also, TeXShop (part of the MacTeX distribution) seems to be fairly accessible. Another possibility would be to write in Markdown, then use Pandoc to convert the

Unfortunately, the answer is, “I’m sorry Andrew, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” The problem is that the AirPort Express supports the STA (station) proxy mode, wherein each Ethernet and Wi-Fi device connected to the extension is proxied to your existing network as a Wi-Fi station itself. This is
