Any suggestions would be appreciated. Have a look at the concept of "Markdown". Emacs has a good markdown mode - there may well be one for vim.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. An alternative approach, which I have used in the past is to edit in one application and print from another. In my case, vim and firefox respectively.

[Hampshire] Wanted: text editor with more print control
I tend to write documentation (of all sorts) using a simple text file rather than create a word processing document as I find it durable over time. At present I am using Gnome's gedit in Debian which is ok but I'd like a bit more control over printing - for example it doesn't allow you to set a standard format with different print margins. The previous version in Etch used margins I liked but the Lenny version doesn't. I'd like to find another text editor I can use which is fairly simple but allows more printing control e.g. to be able set up a default format for margins, headers and footers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
