be careful, it's in this kind of reactions that texies ridicule their
world;
hm, i've seen as many badly done tex docs on the web as word docs; also,
i wonder how many tex users, with 100% confidence can recognize a tex
doc (i can't always, unless of course it's in latin modern; although i
admit that i see more and more badly typeset paragraphs (funny interchar
spacing and stretching of glyphs) showing up in scientific literature of
renowed publishers) ; maybe the math in the office doc is not what you
expect but the tables at least look better spaced than the average tex
doc. I admit that at a closer look the vertical spacing around math
looks funny
(you probably remember the hz optimization experiments we did at user
groups: texies didn't notice the hz at all, and when asked for what
looked better or not, were pretty focussed on the number of hyphenations
as a measure of quality (rivers were also noticed); according to hermann
zapf, probably 99+ % of the readers would not notice a vertical stretch
either so that would be a valid way to get nicely verticaly spaced docs;
i ran some experiments with that and indeed ...)
for a while i wondered if it was a tex doc, esp when i saw the hanging ,
on page 3 -)
just curious: how many programmers would like to write their program sin
the way as illustrated on page 33?
