Tossing gasoline followed by a lit match doesn't help either.

So far I count one person. Two if you include yourself. That's not "a lot".

The LAG/H-H is the tutorial, and references DB:TDG.

You shouldn't care what the output look like, as long as it's legible. That's
|
|
part of the glory of SGML over .doc or .rtf. There was a usability
|
|
study a few years ago between TeX authors and MSWord writers. The MSWord
|
|
people took much longer (maybe twice as long) because they spent that extra
|
|
time arranging items on the page, while the TeX folk didn't have to worry
|
|
about it.
|
|
|
|
When I send a document to the LDP, I don't know exactly what it will look like
|
|
when it's done, but I have a good idea. And that's good enough for me.
