Thanks Dennis, Thanks for taking the time that was a very informed response. It was a teachable moment for me.
I didn't know about the breath and depth of LaTeX. I need to do some self education. Unfortunately I don't see how to integrate LaTeX with SAS, since SAS has its own template/tagset languages. I have not heard much about Framemaker in recent history. Adobe, like Microsoft and SAS keeps coming out with reincarnations of old products. I see a substantial potential for R in Pharma. Recently I spent several months working on a large meta analysis project involving 100s of journal articles, We integrated the R meta package with SAS to get the fixed/random effects and used SAS for input and final reports. SAS simply cannot keep up with new statistical algorithms. I wish I could show you some of style guides I have seen at various pharma companies. Here is a sanitized hint on how some of them talk about mathematical symbols. Some pharma companies even have custom toolbars to help the medical writers insert mathematical symbols. Bring up the appropriate character map in word, usually the symbol map, select the appropriate character and hit the insert character button. I do use unicode in SAS for scripting some simple mathematical text.
