I'm finding Texinfo to be a nice icebreaker for TeX; TeX was pretty- quickly discarded as an idea for FoxtrotGPS documentation because it was too unapproachable-seeming. Texinfo seemed much more approachable, and then ended up providing just enough functionality and just little-enough abstraction that I'm ending up wanting to better understand what's going on underneath. -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
