So, since I know next to nothing about TeX, or LaTex, where do I get started?? I've downloaded "The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX(2e)", and will be going through that. This is really making me rethink how I extract info and present it. What I'm working with is a digital film system based around MySQL and Perl. The database stores all the meta data about each photo, with all the photos sitting out on the file system. What I need to do is to be able to export data into PDF, HTML, CSV formats for our clients. There will be other formats as well, depending on what software our clients will use, and at times I can't predict what that will be. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
