Back in university days I have been using LaTeX and was quite happy with it. Since then I went through this looong hiatus... but now TeX seems to be popping back into the picture.

I have documents that I want to publish on the web and also have as high quality printable output. My current plan is this:

- use docbook as my universal document source
- convert to HTML from there for the web
- convert to LaTeX and let TeX do the PDFs

A bit to my surprise TeX still seems to be the benchmark for high quality automatic electronic typesetting. Had a bit of a look into XSL-FO but it doesn't really seem to cut it from the typesetting point of view.

But enough of the flame baiting now here. Ah, I forgot: I am sitting on a Mac -- I'd love XeTeX to make Hoefler-Text my main document font and have the fabulous Lucida Grande stand up for headings. I wonder how they'll go together.

Cheers,
Joerg

Hi Joerg,

welcome to the board!
I wish I had Hoefler-Text on Ubuntu too.

It seems that you've got very good prerequisites for continuing your work with LaTeX. It has developed in the meantime, and so there is no reason why this work shouldn't be successful.


Best regards and welcome to the board
