Keith, Thank you. I'll use that.
Big equations require special composition languages. I use latex for documents like scientific papers, and libreoffice for casual stuff.
I've switched from LaTeX in Emacs to LyX when it came out and I've used it since then. All documents from my office are typeset.
"TeX for the Impatient" by Abrams et. al. has a 17 page index of special characters, and the ascii line noise that produces them. Knuth's "The TeXbook" (for the more patient) has a 25 page index.
When I wrote my book (published by Springer in 2005) I used PDF copies of tables of LaTeX special characters and, of course, all the math that Knuth used as the reason for creating TeX. When writing a book about set theory and fuzzy logic (e.g., linguistic variables) mathematic equations are abundant. Regards, Rich
