I'll certainly be interested in seeing a result on this, but I'll
reiterate that its intended use is for writing a book. I'm told that
book publishers generally don't thank authors for submitting work as
word processor files of any sort, but are very happy indeed to
receive LaTeX files.
Having had a play with LaTeX over the last couple of weeks and found
out how to duplicate my standard letter writing layout with it, I've
found that the best editor so far is kate - it knows the LaTeX syntax
so it can run the spelling checker properly i.e. it makes no attempt
to spell check the formatting instructions.
So, if it's possible to run Dragon under Wine, with the dictated text
going into kate, that could be the way to go.
