   Hi everyone! This is Jonathan Monsarrat from Brown University.

   Can I show you a cool hack?

   I have written a program that does text formatting using the text
   formatting language of LaTeX. However, it is NOT based on TeX macros

   LameTeX uses the same language as LaTeX, and in general does a pretty
   good imitation of LaTeX, although it doesn't handle Math Mode and
				     -----------------!!!!!!!!!!----	
   fancy stuff (which is why it's lame). It understands 68 common LaTeX
   commands.  There are special additional "Stealth" commands that
   LameTeX can understand, but those get placed in the comments so that
   normal LaTeX will always be able to format your document.

LaTeX without Math Mode???

Have fun!
Alois
