Three problems with this:

1) I don't speak LaTeX.
2) Learning LaTeX isn't going to help me contribute to
AbiWord anytime soon. :-)
3) It's all very well to tell me to export it from
AbiWord to LaTeX, and use LaTeX for the rest of my
documents... But if I really should be doing that,
then why should I even bother with AbiWord at ALL?
Why is AbiWord being written in the first place? Why
not stop working on AbiWord altogether, tell people
AbiWord is completely worthless, and they should use
LaTeX instead?
