processing are missing like changing fonts, underlining, and placement
of text.  these are all available in Emacs.  Emacs, *is* a text
editor, but because of that it is fertile ground for any number of
mark-up codes, mark-up codes that will, unlike a WYSIWYG editor, give
you total and complete control over the text you are editing.  Emacs,
unlike MSWord, makes the user tell it what to do, exactly what to do.
If the mark-up tags aren't in the text, your commands aren't there,
and aren't being acted upon.  This is a truly excellent word
processing technique for a blind person because if you use one of the
markup languages, TROF or Grof Or LaTeX, or real HTML (not the trash
that Billy-Boy thinks is HTML), you can actually tell by looking at
the rough draft, just where those tags are, and just how much text
will be underlined or bolded or whatever.    No, if you simply dismiss
Emacs as a "text editor", that's like under estimating a homosapian.
