Hi rooters,
let me give some suggestions from the users point of view:
For me it's not important wether I put a "#" or "\" in front of LaTeX
commands, or if there is full LaTeX compatibility, as long as I know
how to get a specific result.
The only thing I'm interested in is the axis label or title I want.
And for this I will optimize every new TLatex string and look at
the resulting postscript output.
But there often occurs one of my main problems with the TLatex class.
The spacing I see in my postscript files is often not that what I wanted,
and in many cases it differs from the TLatex screen output. Normally the
deviation from my expected result is small (no full spaces), but these
little mistakes do not look nice.
Then I start inserting and deleting spaces. For this, the existence of
operators like "\!", "\,", ... would be very convenient.
Another problem is the missing "\not" operator. It's not very nice to use
something like "p_{miss}" in an axis label when I use "\not{p}" in my text.
In addition I agree that the obligatory use of "{}" for sub- or superscripts is sometimes
annoying. Maybe one can use something like "\_" or "#_" in normal text and
implement the standard LaTeX behaviour for math scripts ?
Tim
p.s. I think for the purist this class should be namend TLaTeX ;-)
