[olug] Abiword footnotes/Latex plug

[Chris Garrity]

Learn LaTeX and never use another another "What-You-See-Is-All-You-Got" 
editor again. Find that "maketableofcontents" and the hypertext package 
are extremely effective for creating technical documents (using pdflatex).

Although, expect to waste countless hours gazing at extraordinarily 
beautful things under a magnifying glass and wondering about mortality. 
Perhaps you'll fancy yourself a font-artist and retire to the recluses 
of a computer laboratory trying to imagine a better, more beautiful way 
print "ifu".
