I've not read the tex manuals and I can still produce and be fluent with Latex. About Tex, it's just an old macro processor and as such it has it's drawbacks. The good point (depending of your point of view) about Tex is that it's format is stable, you don't have to relearn every tree years.
Hi, I've written documents with images in Latex. It all seems quite neat on the surface. When you dig down to Tex to try and do something for templates other than "book" or "article", there's no hope in hell in making sense of the incoherent ramblings of all the existing Tex documentation. The most technical terms for the parsing machinery is "throat/gullet/stomach". Where is the BNF syntax for the Tex parser, or the list of recognized characters for the recognized keywords? Where is the list of builtin functions for any builtin keywords? _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
