For a counter-example, one that the prizes readability over eye-candy, see The Economist magazine. There _is_ eye-candy in the ads, but they do not interfere with the readability nor the content. So I have used [ntg]roff all these years because I can concentrate on the content. The presentation (once I've picked and implemented a style) takes care of itself. I even use an nroff filter I wrote in the 1980s on my outgoing e-mail for exactly that reason. -- Mike Bianchi Foveal Systems 973 822-2085 mbian...@foveal.com http://www.AutoAuditorium.com http://www.FovealMounts.com
