I've used -me (and a set of extensions to it I wrote, -mx) for poetry, short creative prose, and several college papers (where the professor did not require MLA format). I've set someone up with some -me basics in order to write some software documentation as well. I've also abused it to write some formal business letters. It's my preferred macro package, but of course everyone will have their own preferences. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
