<p>Hi,</p>
<p>a newbie question. I would like advice on which TeX-based
software it would be best to learn in detail for my typesetting
plans. So far, I have learned a little TeX and a little LaTeX,
but not enough of either to tell me which will work best for me.</p>
<p>The features I want to be able to typeset are: [many and
complex]</p>

XeTeX can do all of these, but the intellectual effort required of a
beginner is likely to prove nigh unsurmountable. I <i>expect</i>
that XaLaTeX can do the same with somewhat less intellectual input,
but as I never use LaTeX in any guise I am not the best person to
advise.<br>
