<obMaster>LaTeX! LaTeX!</obMaster>
How fancy is suitable for print? Do you want lines in between, or is .txt with \t fine? (I never seem to get HTML to print properly anyway, so I wouldn't suggest that.) I don't know if there's a Win32 port of *roff (I don't speak *roff anyway).
Ya know... there have been a couple of instances where it would have come in handy just in the past few weeks alone. For sudoku I just don't see any real reason to switch to a GUI interface. I mean you can. But what are you honestly gaining? Its like making a tic-tac-toe game and needing to see it as a pretty GUI. At the end of the day there is only so much you can do to make it look good and it will only be a slight step up above your curses code you have now.Originally Posted by tabstop
Hu? Gui interface? No. It's a text interface, Curses in fact. The only part that needs to be pretty is the file output with the puzzles (and solutions) on it. And at that it only need to be prettier than a text file.

My problem with LaTeX is it doesn't import well into anything. I'm definitely leaning towards PS, tho navigating the incredible volume of commands and learning the ones I want is daunting. That's okay, this has been a learning process all over for me.
