Thanks! I'll pull down the new version and play with it. Regarding the ensuing discussion: I'm not going to particularly defend LaTeX or its design choices, and I've done some medium-level LaTeX hacking and seen much of the awfulness. I would never suggest trying to integrate Scribble with LaTeX so that the same document could incorporate hacking on both sides. My brain melts a little bit just to contemplate a Scribble function taking as input the "return value" of a LaTeX "macro", whatever that might mean---they're operating on such different levels. But there does seem to be a fairly large category of Scribble use cases that aren't really involving any of the true power of the language, just some of its nifty and/or convenient surface features. I get that the --latex-section option will be somewhat fragile, but I think that's fine; it gives me a learning curve and, eventually, an upgrade path. :) -- -=-Don [email protected]=-=-<http://www.monmsci.net/~dblaheta/>-=- "I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards.
