Re: gEDA-user: OT: Latex
For multi author work I recommend setting up a source control
repository.
This is a simple example of one under git.
http://gitorious.org/latex-for-beginners
This is a more complicated example where the guy is keeping the
preambles in their own repository, as a sub module in a master
repository

I'm suggesting git here as you don't need a master server to send
changes amongst your co-workers, you can just send emails with
managed patch sets.

mmmmmmm LaTeX.

for a bunch of reasons (bugs, poor scaling to large documents, poor
multi-author support, poor interaction with cvs or other source
control system,
sounds like you live in my cube (anti-productivity pod, for the
dilbert fans)
For all those same reasons, I've just switched. So far so good.
It'll be interesting to see if I can convince my co-workers to try
it out. One thing that I don't like though, is image support.
Unless I am missing something, images are not actually part of the
source doc, but are sucked in and then processed onto the output.
Distributing the pdf, for example, doesn't matter since the pictures
are included. But for multi-authors, any images have to be included
with the article source files.
The LyX route is working for now - but am already finding reasons to
add LaTeX commands into the source file. Headers with images are a
drag - still fighting that one. Time to get a good book :D
