Hi Seb,

Thanks for your howto. I don't know much about LaTeX but it looks like a 
well structured and formatted howto. You might just want to correct the 
syntax in the Sources section:
Space Space *   ==> to get a proper bullet point.

In terms of grammar and spelling I think your article is good (s/hard it 
is/it is hard/).

*Personally*, I'd get rid of those few sentences containing emotive 
language. I don't think that a casual, blog like tone is appropriate for 
a wiki.

/not as dirty as it sounds first. Let me try to convince you. ;) //
//Well, hard it is to say good bye, but this time, we are done! I hope 
you've found something useful here, at least as a basis for your own 
cleverer solutions. So, be smart and have fun TeXing! :) //
//Okay, okay, you've almost convinced me, but... I definitively want a 
package!/

I am not sure if other people share my view here but I think that a wiki 
article should be rather factual and dry. It's not written to entertain 
us but to provide steps to complete a task. At least that's my 
understanding and that's how other articles have been written so far. 
Can I here ask other editors/admins to express their views on the 
subject? If that's just me, my apologies for being a pain in the back.

regards
Marcin
