Re: [TCLUG:21152] electronic lecture notes

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

one of my old CS profs used latex all the time for his
notes/handouts/testes.. he didn't use anything like lyx.. all hand-coded
in emacs.. but he was kinda a wierd guy :)  I think a more modern aproach
would be HTML or XML.

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
