[matrix] Type hierarchy in Latex and Grammar Developers' Mailing List

In my experience, if I am formatting a type hierarchy for
a paper, I find that I need more fine-grained control over
the placement of nodes than is available in my favorite
tree drawing package (rtrees.sty).  At that point, I drop down
to basics and construct the tree with tree-dvips.sty.  It's a bit
more involved, but it works (up to the physical limitations
of page size).  Some details can be found in my ancient latex
tutorial, still available on this page:

Perhaps you're referring to the DTSL wiki?  That is still
in the works, stalled because everyone's so busy...
