Yeah, I was hot happy when they functionally stabilized DCF and BM. I'm currently using LaTeX both for technical writing and for designing my own T-shirts. I don't care for the syntax, but there are packages for the sorts of things I want to do. Now if I could just find MiKTeX install files old enough to run on m$ vista -(:
I used to curse word pervert until I was forced to use m$ office. (Free|Libre)Office is a step up, but I still want DCF, BookMaster/PC and BookManager Build/PC, preferably on a Linux platform. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Personally, I prefer an explicit "markup language" such as LaTex (using TexStudio) or Docbook or Texinfo.
