[Journal] Help on LaTex Syntax for Journal

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Hi Landon, how did this go for you?

I've just pulled all the articles out the online system and saved them in the 
repository:
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/journal/volume_8/en-us/ - most are in foss4g09 
folder.

What ones do you have converted already so I can help with the others?
