Many people working with (La)TeX still don't want to buy a LaTeX (or TeX) manual, e.g., many graduate students and many other people using TeX only occasionally. I will buy a LaTex manual sometime, but can speak for this large group very well: Sometimes it would be EXTREMELY convenient to have some ON-LINE HELP available (even if you own a manual !). E.G. something like GNU-emacs 'apropos' for (La)TeX. But a list of all standard '\.....' sequences would already be helpful. Do you know of any such list, help-program, .. ? are there other Newsgroups where this should be posted ? Thanks a lot. --- If I get help, and >= 1 person whishes it, I'll post a summary of the answers ------ Martin B Maechler, Statistics, GN-22, U of WA, Seattle, Wa. 98195, 206-545-1627 maechler@stat.washington.edu HOME PHONE: 206-523-9488 (was @ Statistik, ETH Zurich, maechler@math.ethz.ch) Martin B Maechler, Statistics, GN-22, U of WA, Seattle, Wa. 98195, 206-545-1627 maechler@stat.washington.edu HOME PHONE: 206-523-9488 (was @ Statistik, ETH Zurich, maechler@math.ethz.ch)
