Technical Writing Software LyX will let you use LaTeX in a much better environment. I'm not sure that DocBook is the end-all that you think. Still, I have a suggestion that I'll put as an answer. |

What breaks suspension of disbelief? @Sam: The "enhanced photo" thing does get me, since I work with images all day. But somehow it seems less egregious than this super-holographic thing. Maybe it's just been done so much we accept it, or maybe we can take a magnifying glass to a printed photo and look closer, and maybe that provides some external consistency. For me. |

“In the” vs “At the” I'd agree. "In the beginning of the book" could be anywhere in the first couple of chapters. "At the beginning of the book" sounds like within the first chapter, perhaps even the first few paragraphs. |

Rules and resources for scientific writing @Paul de Vrieze: Many university researchers are poor teachers, too, and both writing and teaching are communicating arts. But I'd also say that many researchers are simply following the boring conventions of their subculture: if it's written in the passive voice and with qualifications wherever possible, it must be rigorous. |

Good Outlining Solutions For OSX? +1 for Scrivener. I wish I'd had it years ago. (I may not have been happy with pre-2.0, though, to be honest.) |
