I am beginning to use Para Mode of GNU Emacs -- a set of extensions to
Infosim which make it easy (or at least much easier) to write
hypertextually linked large documents. (Para Mode is still in a
prototype stage; it's by Robert Chassell, bob@ai.mit.edu; the
discussion group is para@cs.cmu.edu; you can send mail to
para-request@cs.cmu.edu to join.) Infosim lets you browse and make
use of a Texinfo document without translating it into Info form (and,
alas, I can't remember the name of the author of Infosim to give
credit and thanks).
So, re LaTeXiNfO, my main questions are:
- is there anything like Infosim for LaTeXiNfO?
- is there anything like Para for LaTeXiNfO?
- what great benefits would I derive by going to LaTeX over raw TeX?
(I am exposing my great ignorance here -- apologies!)
Robert Chassell has written eloquently about the reasons for wanting
something like Para Mode and Infosim; see the Para archives at
ipl.rpi.edu in /pub/para for details, or ask me if interested.
Tnx for helpful advice ... apologies for capitalization of alternate
letters in LaTeXiNfO, but I can't resist .... :-) .... ^z
