Latex is more about typesetting than writing, and its aimed mostly at technical/scientific writing. It would be a huge distraction to go down that path. Outlining is something I use as well, and sadly its pretty much missing/useless in OOo and Libre Office. You need something that is transportable if others are to edit. And its best if chapters are separate documents, allowing multiple concurrent editing. Its too bad that Google Docs is at such a primitive state, because wit would be good for collaborative editing if it were a little more advanced. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
