It's terrible, isn't it? I'm having a LaTeX problem right now with a book
that's been published on the Web in html, each .html page corresponding to
the real page in the physical book. I'm trying to figure out the best way to
[La]TeX it so that you can print out a dvi or ps copy of it that will look
like the original book. LaTeX might be a pain to use because of inserting
images, and I don't feel like spending all this time in LyX (it's like 200
pages). This is a weird kind of job because I already know what I want the
final output to look like on the page -- I want the layout to match the
original, with the same pages, figures, footnotes, etc.
BTW I think the secret to your 4-up sheets is to process the ps output file
you get from LaTeX with the pstools package -- you use psbook to rearrrange
the order of the pages and then something like "psnup -l -pletter -4
infile.ps > outfile.ps" to output a new ps file with 4-up sheets.
