Yes, but what _is_ TeX? Maybe I'm in the minority here – maybe I'm the lone idiot – but I have no idea what it is. The docs for ToolManager seem to involve TeX, but in different, confusing ways. Paul

TeX is a page/document creation language created by Donald Knuth.

A formatting language? As in Renderman, only for documents? Is it some kind of new or in-progress standard, or what?

if you are interested I can mail you a short description about TeX and LaTeX (you should be able to read german), otherwise I will search for an english description.

If you do have an english description lying around it would be great, but don't kill yourself. <g>
