If you're using windoze you might want to look at MiKTeX, which can 
automatically download packages as you need them.

Yes, those GML tags still come to mind. In my head I also ".kp on" and ".kp
off" around sections I want to keep together on one page, and I think of
the simple .fnot macro I wrote so I could dump footnotes about a new term
without distracting myself.

This has been a productive thread for me :-)

I've been playing with LaTeX (have we aegued about how to pronounce that,
yet? ;-) ) and used \documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article} and {book} to
play a bit.
So far, {article} doesn't do a TOC and {book} lays it out like, well, a
book.

I've got hyperlinks in blue, matrices and other maths stuff, paragraphs
with no indent and monospaced code examples using \verbatim.

Installed 'texlive' on Linux Mint and TeXworks on Windows and it all seems
to work pretty well :-)

So thanks for a good thread.
