Re: Creating a dictionary for my conlang in LaTex

Indeed! And with the new strict per user limit, I really advise people to 
move this thread away from here (thereby losing a post for myself :((( ).

Actually, the full installation is ~250MB to download! But you can download 
a small version just as well. MiKTeX now implements a mechanism that allows 
you to download needed packages on the fly! Imagine you compile a LaTeX 
file using the package "foo", and this package is not on your distribution. 
When you call the LaTeX program to compile it, it will recognise that the 
package is missing (but knows it is available because a package database 
always comes with the distribution) and will ask you if you want to 
download it. It happens only once, and is a great feature. Or you can also 
use the package manager to install all the missing packages once you've 
installed a small distribution. In any case, there is no reason anymore to 
download the full distribution, unless you're planning to do most of your 
work offline.

Please move this discussion to the LaTeX-for-Conlangers group! (by signing 
up to it! :)) )

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
