Subject: LaTeX
I'm about to set off on a journey into Tex / LaTeX use. I've downloaded all
the files and read a printed manual...what a fantasy-land of learning
experience for me: all those "trivial" typesetting tasks that I've set
aside for wo/man or machine in the past!
I understand now the value of a human typesetter! Such terribly significant
bits and pieces I'd thougt wordprocessors must handle (ha!). To what extent
does Tex / LaTeX replace a human typesetter in practice? Are there any bogs
or whatever they are of despair in store? I earnestly seek your exeriences
of both good and evil in this respect.
One further question: where does the question of copyright lie in relation
to the overall _style_ one uses in producing a journal ("style" defined in
the broadest sense)?
Forgive me if I've missed a thread on this.
