    LaTeXy is great. I’m really looking forward to something that can go both ways. So, for example, I could have a discussion with a collaborator throwing in LaTeX commands. When the discussion gets to a suitably advanced stage we might want to cut and paste all the latex code into a proper latex document.

    Brilliant start though.

    Hi,

    This is a really, really neat tool and would be quite brilliant for students to collaborate to obtain a great set of notes *during* a class. Now, if I had a way to get this back into a latex document (cf Doug’s comment) then I would be using this for all my classes *now*.
