Nice work but if I have to know LaTeX syntax, why am I not writing in LaTeX?
- hoppelhase 8y agoBecause setting up an environment where you can compile LaTeX - including common packages/classes - can be difficult.
- mathiasrw 8y agoYou still need to setup latex to compile to PDF fra madoko
- mathiasrw 8y agoFor actual writing, markdown gives you a way better flow. What gives you the most fluent experience?: The house looked _very_ good. The house looked \textit{very} good.
- michaelcampbell 8y agoFlow, the first. Correctness, the latter. /This/ should be italics, _this_ should be underlined. Does it matter how fast it is if it isn't right?
- drb91 8y agoTo put it lightly, the syntax is odd. LaTeX doesn’t always pay off in the short term.
- cryptonector 8y agoSame reason that LyX exists: LaTeX has a very steep learning curve, and is more intrusive than these alternatives.
