That would be great. I want this to be for more than just lectures (things
like book notes and such). Class notes are just the main problem I have to
address. Being able to type everything out had proven very usefull to me
over the last year. One thing I will need to solve is the inclusion of
graphics. At times, I may need to leave my text editor and use a sketch
program to draw a diagram or something. How should I deal with this in the
notes? Perhaps just an include tag to the graphic file.
