I second that! LaTeX rocks!
I take notes in LaTeX, and also all the homework
I turn in is typeset via it.

however, LaTeX-created docs look soo good,
my composition teacher thought I wasn't the one to write them. <g>

However, latex2html is really aweful. It works, but the HTML generates
is very idiotic at times... and latex2html is also one of the worst
examples of a perl script I've yet seen.
