We have recently begun to use the Language Sensitive Editor (c) from DEC, and I was wondering if any of you had defined LaTeX (c) as a language for LSE. The editor seems to have many nice features, and there are lots of people here that could and would use it if its features were available for other things besides the standard languages (ie FORTRAN, C, Pascal, etc). Since LaTeX is so similar to a programming language, it seems logical to define it as a language and to use the full power of LSE when generating LaTeX files. I do not have the time, nor probably the expertise, to correctly define all of the LaTeX constructs. If you have or know of such a beast, I would appreciate it if you would drop me an e-note to bew@rti.rti.org, bew@argon.rti.org, or bew@rti.uucp. If there is enough interest and if I get any usable responses, I will post them to the net. An LSE template for LaTeX is available from TUG, the TeX User's Group. (See Appendix J of the TeXbook for information about how to contact TUG.) The template and documentation are not free, but they are not expensive (tens of dollars - mainly distribution costs). I believe versions of the same stuff have also appeared on DECUS tapes in the past. I don't use LSE so can't comment directly on this stuff, but I gather that people are pretty happy with it. Since I am mostly a novice to posting, if I have broken netiquette, or if there is a more appropriate newsgroup for this posting, please "inform" me via email rather than via posting since there is no point in wasting bandwidth on flames when there will probably be lots of flames. No, this is a reasonable place to ask, given that you are asking about some- thing VMS-specific (LSE). Another place to try, which is much more appropri- ate for more general TeX- and LaTeX-related questions, is the TeXhax list.

I believe that the TeX Users Group distributes an "LSE Template" for LaTeX
along with some documentation on how to use it. It was developed by the
Lear Siegler, Inc., Instrument Division and is distributed by TUG. The
cost is $65 plus shipping & handling.
For more information, contact TUG at P. O. Box 9506, Providence, RI 02940,
401/272-9500 x. 232, or send mail to TUG@Seed.AMS.COM.
