The standard editor Vim which comes with Linux is very good. It may take a while to learn, but will more than repay the effort you put in. It contains syntax highlighting which mostly works, and can be turned off if you are putting together a document with complicated constructs. And it has a built-in Help menu. I rarely use Windows, but on those occasions when I do I use one of the word processing packages and save the file as text-with-linebreaks. Editing after errors gets messy, which is why I almost always use Linux. > So I found out that it is more complicate to choose the right editor > than to use LaTeX. > Could you possibly help me please? > Thank you very much > Lisa Happy LaTeXing, Ken Smith --------------------------------- --------------------------------- L'email della prossima generazione?
