Hello, Techrl-l-ers,

No, this is not a message that's been in the email ether for 2 decades -- I actually have a new client who is using LaTeX!

I haven't used it, and although I'm looking forward to diving into something so retro, I do think I'd rather use a WYSIWYG editor than deal with this in text format. (There're lots of equations and line drawings in their doc.)

I've googled, and found several WYSIWYG editors (for Windows systems), and wonder if anyone has used any of them? I'm also looking at the wikipedia article on LaTeX, which has a nice editor comparison chart (although it doesn't cover the most promising looking editor, BaKoMa-TeX, http://www.bakoma-tex.com/menu/about.php).

Looking forward to your replies,
-Monique
