i'm standardizing on using emacs and something called "org-mode" (http://orgmode.org/) to write/rewrite a number of linux and linux-related courseware manuals, and i'm wondering if anyone out there is experienced with this particular authoring toolchain -- emacs in org-mode using the beamer class to generate tex and, subsequently, PDF output. if you've used this combination and have some time, i'm willing to hire you for a short contract to sit down and walk through how to get an infrastructure set up. i'm currently going through both the beamer and org-mode manuals but it would save me *buckets* of time if someone has already been down that road and can summarize everything i need. if you're local and can help, drop me a note. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
