I finally succumbed and started using eplain (v1.9), and found to my shock and amazement that I quite liked it. A lot, even. I like the fact that it's so configurable, and doesn't constrain me very much at all. A wonderful piece of work. The only thing that it seems to be lacking is any sort of indexing. It has a table-of-contents feature, which seems to work well enough (with some messing up as it crosses page boundaries, but hey, chapters are supposed to start at the beginning of a page, anyway). It has references which (I assume) handle page-boundary discrepancies and forward references in a two-pass style. But no indexing. Before I go off and write one, has anyone already done so? ---Ken McGlothlen mcglk@u.washington.edu mcglk@cpac.bitnet
