Ha, but you should learn LaTeX! It's a breeze, really, no kidding, you just
have to grab the LaTeX Companion. Then people could send you nifty
statistical studies of the Shadowrun system with looots of equations,
everywhere, and gnuplot plots, and a BiBTeX file for SR, and...

Uh ho, I should calm down, I doubt such "features" would cater to a large
audience. I'm pretty sure that one could do really classy e-zines with
LaTeX, though. And pdf output is no trouble, with dvi2pdf. :-)

P.S.: emacs and WinEdt rulez! vi suckz! :%20d:w:q!
