I am just starting to use the Template Toolkit. http://www.template-toolkit.org/ and see http://www.template-toolkit.org/info.html It allows you to separate the Perl from the markup language you are using, whether HTML or LaTeX. That way the LaTeX expert doesnt get Perl in their way or vice-versa. Im very plaesed with it. -- Michael Lake Chemistry, Materials & Forensic Science, UTS Ph: 9514 1724 Fx: 9514 1460 UTS CRICOS Provider Code: 00099F DISCLAIMER ======================================================================== This email message and any accompanying attachments may contain confidential information.
