RE: Software For Book Writing
Would someone please help me. I own a large corporation and was somehow
joined to this list not by my own doing. I have ceaselessly attempted to
unsuscribe about 50 times and it is not working. I get over 50 e-mails a
day from this group and as you can imagine it's driving me over the edge.
Please someone help me. Thanks.

That is a bit unfair. TeX/LaTeX is not that straight-forward and has a
rather steep learning curve. (Still wondering how to put "[1]" (without the
quotes) in a plain text TeX file.)
If you need to buy a book, or peruse copious amounts of documentation to
achieve what seems like a simple task, it is not straight-forward.
If I was going to write a book I would use LaTeX though, probably buying a
book (or two) and perusing copious amounts of documentation in the process.

you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you
will understand why I dismiss yours.
