hiho -
forgive me, just curious -- i am new to miktex/latex/textex but i
gather that they are for making pretty documents potentially with math
equations... i had no idea that you could use dia for page
layout/math equations -- but then again, i am fairly new to dia...
...so with that intro, could you send an attachment/example of a
..."diagram(s) consisting of native TeX commands somehow, to
match(ing) the font and formula look of the text"?
...just curious...
danka,
tomas
