There is a wysiwig TeX available on the Mac. I can't remember the name, we don't use mac's around here. Check out VorTeX from BSD (Visually Oriented TeX). The package contains IncTeX, an incremental TeX compiler. Unfortunately, it runs on X10, with X11 in the works (but don't hold your breath). You can work back and forth on the TeX source and on the visual representation. Also included is makeindex, an indexing facility for Latex. Pehong Chen is the chief architect of IncTeX. His PhD's dissertation is ``A Multiple-Representation Paradigm for Document Development''. Report No. UCB/CSD 88/436 180 pages. Contact: Michael A. Harrison Computer Science division 571 Evans Hall University of California Berkeley, CA 94720 Univ FAX: (415) 642-5775 email: harrison@renoir.berkeley.edu We bought the package but we did not install it yet. I don't know how it rates. Besides, we don't have X10. -- news
