I'm not sure what that FAQ is telling me. It seems to me, it talks about some Perl libraries that use LaTeX. If that is the case, then I can understand why that would be more involved. After all it is probably accessing more low-level features. > > Do you also need to do these?

This is entirely driven by gaps in my LaTeX understanding. That said, there are cases where it has fewer features/bugs (I listed a few in my earlier email). Does that answer your question in anyway? If you faced any specific issues, I would be interested to know more. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
