Just to give an impression that learning LaTeX is not all too hard, especially if you can read and write syntax as complex as HTML, here's some sample documents that uses accents and tables: --------------------------------------------------------------- \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Hier sa\ss{} ein h\"ubsches M\"adchen. \end{document} --------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX combines accents with any character, which conlangers might need: --------------------------------------------------------------- \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Th\v\i{}s i\"s \.a \`shor\'t Te\u{x}t. \end{document} --------------------------------------------------------------- Sample interlinears using a table: --------------------------------------------------------------- \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{llll} Katze-n & hab-en & klein-er-e & Ohr-en\\ cat-PL & have-3PL & small-CMP-PL.ACC & ear-PL\\ \multicolumn4l{Cats have smaller ears.} \end{tabular} \end{document} --------------------------------------------------------------- But you'll probably need a book, yes. **Henrik
