Lines: 12 This is a query for your favorite way of formatting recipes (when typesetting). My favorite is the style used in Joy of Cooking where the ingredients are bold and inline with the instructions. I have a set of LaTeX macros that do it that way; if anybody would like them i can mail them to you. (Enter TeX salespitch mode: LaTeX is a nifty set of macros for TeX. TeX is typesetting software; it runs on unix and it is public domain. Personally, i think it is much better than troff.) Another method i've seen that i like is to have the ingredients in the outside margin, in italics, alongside the instructions. -- rusty c. wright {ucbvax,ihnp4,akgua,hplabs,sdcsvax}!sdcarl!rusty
