- pjc50 8y agoI keep my CV in Latex, and did my undergraduate thesis that way; but I'm very aware that for day to day non-maths work this is not a simple workflow and that most people would prefer a system in which they can see the effect of their changes immediately. (See the discussion in another comment about styles in word and how few people use them). WYSIWYG and DTP was the liberatory technology of the 80s and early 90s - suddenly everyone could produce documents with little training.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoSimplify your life further. Use Lyx (a frontend for LaTeX). It's pretty much WYSIWYG, but you're still using LaTeX.
