Do you all use Latex for editing docs, or maybe open office or other? I'm getting fed up with the open office bugs and starting to think that Latex is a better alternative. Busy compiling Lyx as we speak. I use pdfLaTeX (and occasionally pdfTeX) for **all** documents. I really like ConTeXt but I have too much work in LaTeX to switch at this point. I make everything a pdf file. I use the pdfpages package to include document pages. For figures I use the \includegraphics command which will include, scale and rotate a pdf file. I use Makefiles and scripts to automate the process. Emacs + AucTeX for editing. METAPOST and gnuplot for graphics. beamer for slides. The only hassle I have had is floating figures and figures in multicolumn mode. I think I have these nailed down. (* jcl *) P.S. Finding a bug in the TeX or METAFONT programs is now worth 0x$80.00 at the Bank of San Serriffe ;) -- You can't create open hardware with closed EDA tools. twitter: [2]http://twitter.com/jluciani blog: [3]http://www.luciani.org References 1. mailto:carzr...@optonline.net 2. http://twitter.com/jluciani 3. http://www.luciani.org/
