[jazzplusplus-devel] Question about jazz.tex

[D.B. M. <db...@ho...>]

Greetings,

I've been spending most of he current time reformatting
the user manual as defined by jazz.tex -- the copy I have 
here actually looks more like a user manual in layout. I'm sort
of waiting for the last lot of patches I submitted to make it
into the tree so I can incorporate them into the revised layout
(and then I'll know where to link the htdocs to as well ;-)

My question here is about jazz.tex itself -- well actually, it's
more about tex/latex really...and remember, noodles here 
knows that much about tex/latex, I didn't even have it 
installed here, so everything is news to me..

Typically speaking, I might use any text editor to write
the actual text, but what is useful (very much so for the
purposes of layout) is one or another GUI frontend to
the tex/latex toolkit. Thus far, I've given the programs
'texmaker' (OS independant) and 'Kile' a try (yes, KDE
app). Both of these look, feel and behave in similar ways.

Now...after a brief perusal of these pograms' docs, it seems
entirely possible to meld tex2rtf into the setup, and have it
as the default document creation utility in such GUI tex/latex
 editors, and that would lend some parity here with the jazz+=
tree itself....but..

When using such programs, and trying to build documentation
from the jazz.tex file, the process comes to a grinding halt,
because the inbuilt checker/parser howls about tex/latex format
error in the jazz.tex file. It suggests that there are syntax errors
in the file, however such doesn't seem to bother tex2rtf - it
never complains about jazz.tex having such errors...why is this?

All I'm thinking here, is that seeing I'm working on what I am with
jazz.tex, -if- there are any 'real' errors in the file that should be
corrected, they should happen _now_ if possible. Any clues,
comments or thoughts?

Regards,


Donald B
