[ale] Simple Word Processor

[Douglas Knudsen]

LaTeX is more than that!  It is a typesetting environment.  It is very flexible
and powerful, if you take the time to learn it.  I've used it quite abit, even
did some chapters in a Math text for a professor at college.   I've also seen
it used to make postcript out of html.  For some quick info, a sample LaTeX
file, some links, and a couple of LaTeX manuals check out

Cheers!
