LaTeX goes AJAX
I find quite a lot of cool stuff on my travels around the ‘net and this is one of them. I have been a fan of LaTeX for a couple of years now. Admittedly for quick documentation and work I either use Word or preferably OpenOffice.org’s Writer. At home, particularly for my self published material I prefer LaTeX although these days I rarely write it by ‘hand’. In so far as I don’t enter the command manually, or not all of them anyway.
Instead I use LyX which I still recommend for anybody and will continue to use.
But at http://www.latexlab.org there is a very cool LaTeX online application using AJAX tecnniques to create something not too dissimilar to what Zoho Office or Google Docs offer but for LaTeX. It even exports to PDF, Postscript, PNG and DVI.
I’ll stick with LyX but this could be a good way to work on the move if I don’t have LyX available.
