Of course, his comparison shots w/ LaTeX and LibreOffice are misleading. While it's understandable to show what CM and the global style template look like, I don't think I've seen anyone - save for people writing package documentation - deliver using that formatting.
Tl;dr, That is ugly.
- SiempreViernes 8y agoWhat sort of documents do you look at? Lots of actual reports are in the "basically default" template; I googled for "us annual car deaths", and followed the first "institutional" result found, clicking around to find an actual, recent*, report. The first I found was in "basically default" style: https://www.iihs.org/frontend/iihs/documents/masterfiledocs.ashx?id=2166 https://www.iihs.org/frontend/iihs/documents/masterfiledocs.... Next, I googled "russian pension reform pdf", and in the top three hits there were two reports with various levels of depressing Word defaults, and one that I'll give be benefit of the doubt and say was actually a conversion from a web page. I'd say this is a fairly typical look for any report that isn't super official or actually a magazine trying to sell something.
- chrisfinazzo 8y agoMost of the time, it's CV's, Thesis papers, dissertations, that sort of thing. Really just looking for interesting ideas and packages I might want to "borrow" :). My current CV (and one other supporting document) started out as creatures of Word, so trying to keep to the format was a primary goal. The IIHS report honestly isn't bad looking. To my eyes, it could be done in TeX or Word depending on how complicated the styles actually are.
