Hi folks

www.konkoly.hu carries a link up front entitled "advice to authors" or
something similar.

Submittal has to be in latex and ftp-ed up, though there is vague
provision for email attachments.

Piccies, ie figures, will have to be in jpeg.

latex .sty files are provided, indeed possibly must be used, to give
overall "house style" preferred.

www.lyx.org gives a WYSIWYM (what you say is what you mean???) interface
for LaTeX stuff. I never got on with it, but it's the only gui front end
I know.  More like gnuplot is to graphs than word or staroffice are to
word processing.  TeX, LaTeX and the rest just happen to come with my
choice of linux distro (redhat), don't know if that is a universal.

LaTeX and/or lyx for Windows... ...well I believe it is possible,
possibly via the cygwin people (I've their gnuplot in windows as well as
a linux version).  I've never looked so you'll have to look for urls, or
someone else advise.

gnuplot will be easier to use to generate the full axes graphs
professional papers prefer, I can tell you from experience it is hard
work in excel, for example, but manageable.  Can't remember if it has
jpeg or postscript export for graphs, but if latter that's okay you can
convert to jpeg via GIMP or similar under Linux (yeah, I know, it's all
linux... ...that's why I installed it.  Second hard disks are relatively
cheap nowadays so you can safely have a dual boot machine and I
installed it a few years ago just to be able to view tex files!  Most
home users aren't going to be able to manage a *nix machine, linux has
done all I ever need so *nix far up to date.)
