Esp. the two MyWay's written by the author who mentioned that ;)
:-) I see you also have one... all of which are next up on my Sunday afternoon reading!
Thanks!
Most other MyWay's deal with fonts.
Arg. My bane. Fonts. The one thing that pulls me ever so slightly to using Pages... Not because I want a garish mix of goofball junk fonts, but because I love Palatino for newletters and Papyrus for cards and short notes... I figured out how to get Palatino into LaTeX, but use other programs (so far) to get Papyrus...
I found a few of those also, and it is very confusing to a newbie (such as myself) to figure out what is old and valid and what is old and not-so-valid...
I don't have a good overview, but I don't know that many "not-so-valid" things.
Thanks, that is good to know...
Old things are still valid, there might only be some new things that you might not know about once you've read the manual. (plain) TeX is about 25 and still "valid". Only that there are "a few commands available out there" which can simplify things.
The more I look into it, the more I feel that ConTeXt is going in a direction more helpful to me than LaTeX. No comment intended on the "correctness" of either direction, just on the harmony with where I am going. --Doug
