Combining them would be a powerful tool, so I tried to do it. It worked out pretty good. My tool puts together multiple Google documents, downloads the images, converts some html like bold, lists, images and heads to Latex, compiles it with pdflatex and outputs a pdf file. Everything just by clicking a link on a webpage. This fall I wrote a 100pages report this way with three other students and it seems to work. Anyone interested in helping me continue the development of this tool, please let me know at johan at lindbom dot net.

I am using Lyx and CVS to manage my writing now. If Google docs can export to LaTeX, I will be able to use other computers as well rather than just my own. On the other hand, unlike Google docs, I can currently edit offline. I wish Google exposes an API to get at the documents. That would allow tool writers to write the filters independently. Hear hear.

I'm surprised that so many people desire this feature. Having a third-party web service do it is a fine solution, but I think Google should just offer it as a part of the service. @std: Neat.
