You may have noticed that I've added a guide chapter
specifically on gretl's TeX functionality.
In the course of writing this up, I've come to wonder: Do you
think we ought to make pdflatex + PDF viewer the default for
viewing TeX output on Linux as well as Windows and OS X?
Pro: while DVI is traditional on X11, for novice users it's
more user-friendly to have a preview that's directly printable.
And it'll simplify the documentation some if the default is the
same on all platforms.
Con: latex + xdvi generally gives a faster preview (though
actually xpdf is pretty fast -- not sure about gpdf or kpdf, or
whatever is used for PDF on KDE).
Allin.
