[ale] Is there a system to encourage using styles?

[Tom Freeman]

I agree - using LaTex should require the user to _learn_ something about 
how things are working.

However, and sadly, given the option of performing an appendectomy 
on themselves or learning enough LaTex to get started I suspect that most 
people opt for the appendectomy. <<grrr>>

I started with a version of nroff & the Son of Sam editor (a line oriented 
editor) on a mainframe for word processing. I'm certain the scars show...
