Each of those is a little different; the basic answer to each is "no, not to my knowledge". But: -- Manual pages are formatted using 'roff. Running 'man -t foo' will produce a PostScript version of the man page; you can also directly run 'groff -man -Tps foo.1' on the manual page file. This isn't LaTeX at all, but it is a nicer printed format than plain text. [1] -- Formatted Info pages only exist in plain text, with a little binary markup. But if you snag the source, you should be able to run 'tex' on the main driver file. This is how the printed FSF documentation works. It's not technically LaTeX, it's TeXInfo, but it's the same driver in the end. -- I'm not sure what you'd actually want to do with your email. You could snarf it into a LaTeX verbatim environment, or print it out of Emacs (possibly getting some highlighting of headers in the process). [1] It looks like current versions of Solaris distribute their man pages using a subset of DocBook. Now that's just cool. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting. Politicking should be illegal." -- Abra Mitchell
