I don't know how you read it, but I know for a fact that many professional science publishers use it (Elsevier is just one example, pretty much every physics journal asks you to prepare manuscripts in LaTeX). So yes, I guess I am serious - pretty much anyone I know who is publishing on professional level (i.e. makes money by selling books or journals) and has complicated layout problems (math formulae, Hebrew sentences with reverse writing direction inside English texts, Egyptian hieroglyphs written from top-down or right-left,...) uses LaTeX for typesetting. It's not some exotic tool in publishing business - it's just not so well known for every-day office work. * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA Learn about the latest advances in developing for the BlackBerry® mobile platform with sessions, labs & more.
