LaTeX markup language is really easy to use, but when it comes to changing the default layout, it gets complicated. LaTeX markup is far superior when you have repetitive patterns that you need to use. Personally I use latex-suite in vim than the GUI based Kile. And VIM has a far steeper learning curve than LaTeX. But like learning to Touch Type, the learning curve of Vim is well worth it. If you have a aptitude for programming then definitely learn LaTeX. Here is a link to a really good LaTeX FAQ that teaches you to do stuff that will be hard to find otherwise... http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html -- Joseph Goncalves mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 66D6 71CF 87F9 6B17 6824 C692 9FF0 1DAF 7DAE E661 -- It is said that the Fremen has no conscience, having lost it in a burning desire for revenge. This is foolish. Only the rawest primitive and the sociopath have no conscience. The Fremen possesses a highly evolved worldview centered on the welfare of his people. His sense of belonging to the community is almost stronger than his sense of self. It is only to outsiders that these desert dwellers seem brutish . . . just as outsiders appear to them. -- PARDOT KYNES, The People of Arrakis
