Sweet! I only wish I had come across this paper (it is about 10 years old) when I was daydreaming about a WYSIWYG gui interface that worked for multiple CASes. If I ever get back around to it, this will be really useful.

That is, I want a WYSIWYG editor with a WP51 revealcodes function and the 'codes' all being (La)TeX. And I write just a letter in (La)TeX code and I see the result immediately in screen (as long as it parses). That's the ideal word processor. And this functional implementation makes it possible. I'm happy. I want a mix between (La)TeX and Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS.

It's a fully-functional web-based version of LaTeX featuring groups and collaboration, spellcheck, and more. Best of all, it's free!
