Yeah, if one doesn't have LaTeX installed, it looks really heavy, it's one of the biggest softwares I'm aware of. It is however incredibily powerful you should really have a look at it aside form Papyrus. > Then I tried dling and installing pdftex ( It seems you're running into the difference between TeX and LaTeX. LaTeX is a macro package atop of TeX, and usually doing plain TeX is considered lowlevel when dealing with LaTeX as most people do. Maybe someone using a Mac can comment on this? I'll put something up in Papyrus' wiki then. If you want to have a glance on the output it produces, download http://redmine.pegasus-alpha.eu/attachments/3/Documentation.pdf . This is Papyrus' own documentation generated with Papyrus itself.
