> No! You think I'm trying to force you to always use the wysiwyg > window. Well, yes, that's what I thought you meant. And if WYSIWYG means WYSIAYG, that's what you have to have. I think you're right, in that a WYSIWYG sort of approach would have to let you edit the TeX source too. But I still stick by my statement that the sort of things that would be possible to do in a WYSIWYG way are exactly the sort of things that are easy to do on the source with an editor like Emacs anyway. I don't think a WYSIWYG approach would gain you much. MHO, of course. I'm the kind of person who customises my Mac to make it look as much like a Unix box as possible. :-) Jeremy *---------------------------------------------------------------------* | Jeremy Gibbons <jeremy@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> CS Dept, Auckland Univ, NZ | *---------------------------------------------------------------------*
