Lyx, texlive-latex-recommended (for the memoir and rcs plugins) and tex4ht (for exporting to Word or odt format) are what you want, then. Create a simple template (/memoir/, from texlive-latex-recommended) should point you in the right direction), and then start typing im the GUI window. Since it's plain multi-line text, mercurial won't have any problem diffing the file and saving the changes. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day.
