| vim has those types of modes, too -- perl highlighting, C
Note the winking smiley. I know the modes are of a different nature,
but use the same name. I just thought it funny that a modeless editor
has so many modes.

Tobias Oetiker is (at least appears to be ;-)) an expert. He already
wrote the intro :
http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/lshort/
It is titled "The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e, or LaTeX2e in
90 minutes". (It appears that the time has changed in various
editions of the doc) There is the LaTeX source and PS, PDF, and also
HTML versions available.
His doc is what I am using. I also need to find a good up-to-date
reference that explains the details and quirks of some of the macros.
