Hello all,
From PBE and a previous post, I see that I am not alone in using LaTeX. I once asked about editors, Lyx, Kile and TextMate were mentioned, along with emacs and vi. To folks who have mastered the latter, you have my respect :)
TextMate appears to be a Mac-only item, but searches indicated that scribes tries to do the same thing on Linux. I have been using TexMaker and after customizing the quick build to apply latexpdf twice and to NOT view the result on its own (not sure why that was important, but it was), and a separate launcher for the pdf viewer, I'm pretty happy. In working on a paper, I inevitably got the "send me a copy so I can edit it with track changes." TTH did a surprisingly nice job of making an HTML document. OpenOffice did an ok job of loading it, but insists on linking the images and AFAICT pointedly refuses to embed them in a simple way. Do any of you have a solution to that problem? I would like to work as much as possible in latex and then export to Word for coauthors. Thoughts/recommendations/warnings? Bill
