Try Kile, which is a KDE frontend for latex. It has syntax highlighting (for many languages) and some handy laxex-friendly buttons for compiling, viewing, formatting and symbols. There's plugin support for things like word completion. You can do most of it with point and click so it's good when you don't know what commands you should be typing. Also there are buttons to navigate between errors, warnings and badboxes as reported by latex. You can also define your own commands for building (eg I added in perltex and changed the xdvi command to xdvi -watchfile 1). I found it very helpful before I knew anything. For a wysiwig-type editor have a look at lyx, though it uses a modified latex though if you want to do something it doesn't know about you can put latex commands into it. It can import and export a variety of formats. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
