I feel like this drive to use a document description language that is "natural to read in ascii" but also works as a real markup language ends up fulfilling neither in practice. I prefer LaTeX than any of these half-assed markup languages that never quite works as you want.
- ajford 11y agoAs a former physicist and LaTeX user, I find it hilarious that you refer to any others as "half-assed markup languages that never quite works as you want". I've found myself spending way too much time recompiling my LaTeX documents to get just the look I want. And I much prefer writing my first draft in Markdown, then pandoc it to LaTeX and finish. Takes much less time in my opinion.
