Note the winking smiley. I know the modes are of a different nature, but use the same name. I just thought it funny that a modeless editor has so many modes. | > | wanna write up a vim intro at sourceForge.net/projects/newbiedoc/? | > | > Can I write it in LaTeX?

(maybe | you can write a newbiedoc intro for latex soon?) Tobias Oetiker is (at least appears to be ;-)) an expert. He already wrote the intro : http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/lshort/ It is titled "The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e, or LaTeX2e in 90 minutes". (It appears that the time has changed in various editions of the doc) There is the LaTeX source and PS, PDF, and also HTML versions available. His doc is what I am using. I also need to find a good up-to-date reference that explains the details and quirks of some of the macros. -D
