Kenny,

Sympathy but no solution.

I too have been trying to use Mathematica (v4.2 most recently) to type
maths papers and the like but I'm not ready to ditch LaTeX yet.  There
are just too many cases where I cannot figure out how to achieve what I
want in Mathematica, things like:
- left brackets spanning multiple lines for defining hybrid functions;
- vertical alignment of equals signs in multi-line equations or
derivations;
- setting typefaces in tables of material.

I figure most of this is do-able, but I don't have the time, or
patience, to spend too much time on it.  So, I'll be the first customer
when you write the guide to math publishing in Mathematica - I just hope
you won't have to use LaTeX to write it.

Regards
Mark Westwood
