Is there an emoticon for "barf"? Couldn't one define a "query" and "queryanswer" style, which would show up in the LaTeX source but not on the finished document, that could be used for queries and answers? The one advantage I see to MSWord is it has revisions, so you can see what's changed. I don't remember that too much -- it was mostly queries and answers, as I remember. > Then > -- insult of insults -- the typesetters converted it back into LaTeX for > the typesetting! I wonder how they converted MSWord into LaTeX. Probably had a set of LaTeX environments and commands exactly mimicking the styles you had in MSWord. By the way, what book did you write?
