Hi again, one more thought: since it seems that there are quite a few people here using LaTeX for educational purposes, I thought you might be interested in ConTeXt (see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page). It is also a TeX-based tool, imho better than LaTeX (though definitely less stable - nevertheless, there are people who use it for production purposes - and not only its developers). It was developed as a general-purpose tool (unlike LaTeX, which is still - after 30 years - mainly aimed at academia; LaTeX3 should change it, but it's still far from ready), but with educational documents being an important focus. If anyone is interested, I can write some more about it, especially about its pros and cons as opposed to LaTeX (I've been using both extensively for quite a few years now).
