I'm using a Markdown-like language to write my phd thesis in LaTeX (I have already used it for my master thesis and several scientific papers). Some day I should probably clean all my stuff and release something, but at this moment is a very ad-hoc thing.
Basicly an awk script (find attached) processes titles, emphasis and lists like markdown. Images are included with a tag at the begining of the line. It also supports footnotes, tables (in the same or different files), equations with LaTeX notation, an graphs (processed with gnuplot and the epslatex terminal). Bibliographic references, as well as references to figures and tables, can be included too. In the same way that Markdown can include raw html you can include raw LaTeX here. Makefiles and a series of scripts take care of building everything for me. If anybody is interested maybe I can privately send some of the material, but it won't be very useful without a full example and I'm not allowed to put that in the tubes. Anyway, I suggest to write your own toolset if you are taking this route. -- - yiyus || JGL . 4l77.com
