Some thoughts on using Wolfram's typesetting software, Publicon.
Publicon is a pimped version of Mathematica's front end, a graphical interface for the processing wizard that is the Mathematica kernel. I've tried it now for a while, and my thoughts on it are pretty negative, which I didn't want. I was looking for a way to write some of my papers without having to enter the cumbersome latex markups which generate the mathematical notation you see in some of my papers. I didn't find it here. Publicon has a lot of cool features, like different stylesheets for different article styles, and 'pallettes' of different notations and structural elements, which is why I downloaded the thing in the first place.
The problem is the export features: Publicon just doesn't play well with professional-grade 
, so, for me, it's not a runner.
Sad.
Some issues with the software:
1. Too expensive
2. Bibliography integration sucks
3. Latex export sucks.
4. Basic features of typesetting missing.
So, Publicon is still no way near persuading me to go from 40 dollar textmate+free latex solution.
The search continues.
