Yes, I recommend LaTeX for formatting any large-scale or complex document. It is hugely more reliable and powerful than any wordprocessor, and has the advantages that it runs identically on any platform, and that there is a huge support ecosystem of people using it. It's also free software, in both senses of the phrase. (Actually, for writing and editing a complex book or thesis, I would prefer XML, which can be transformed to LaTeX for formatting. But this is still not easy, as the XML editors out there are designed for experts, not for authors.) ///Peter -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
