On concentrating on the contents, I find it easier to (as someone to) read:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Because:
- reason 1
- and reason 2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
than:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Because:
\begin{itemize}
\item reason 1
\item and reason 2
\end{itemize}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Absolutely - and that is why I am using LyX and not LaTeX: in these regards a LITTLE bit like WYSIWYG, but within the complete LaTeX power and not with "painting" layouts like in word.
Cheers,
Rainer
Same for tables...
That's why I now hate going back to LaTeX. But, I know, habits can be hard to
change.
