Doesn't look like it.

Doh. I talk about TeX in a general format. Sorry.

|
|

I understand that. Perhaps some goofytool(tm) that will generate a PNG and
|
|
EPS from a TIFF?
|
|
|
|
JPG does suffer from quality problems, but you can increase the quality.
|
|
GIF is right out. Do most major browsers support PNG now?

Since authors won't do the actual rendering into the various formats,
|
|
it shouldn't matter. How about a new section showing how the LDP does
|
|
its rendering which would include a table of formats and commands?
|
|
|
|
Or will that just get too confusing?
