Basically I want to typeset scientific documents in the form of a book 
-- nothing to fancy, nothing interactive. As a starting point, I would 
be very happy to have all the functionality back that I am used to with 
LaTeX and KOMA-Script:

- Placing figures and captions (see earlier questions in this thread)
- Different examples of formatting the table of contents (e.g. 
indenting sections and sub(...)sections, setting chapters boldface sans 
serif...)
- How to format the index (divided into sections preceeded by the 
appropriate uppercase letter, pagenumbers aligned right, "\dotfill" 
between word and pagenumber)
- How to format the bibliography (e. g. vertical space between the 
entrys)
- Define different page styles for the first page of each chapter (e. 
g. no headers) and the following pages

Not that I don't want to read manuals and experiment myself -- it just 
would be a big time saver to see how other people do things like 
that... As always, time is short if you are trying to finish a project 
-- at the moment I spend more time learning than writing text. Thanks 
for any support!
