Well, I do know quark -- and LaTeX is MUCH nicer than quark in many ways -- it can do so much more than quark can ever hope to do. However, quark is a GUI-based desktop publishing program, and LaTeX is not a GUI. It also forces one to structure their work a little better, whereas quark lets you just throw things around. *maybe* lyx, a frontend for latex will do what you want it to do. I do not know about graphics in LaTeX though, but if Mark is doing it, then it must be possible. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
