I'll be sure to give a copy of LaTeX to my father and see how easy he finds it.
I have no doubt LaTeX is very good for certain applications, but superior? According to what yardstick?
- zerohp 16y agoNow that you mention it, I think that I could give Latex to my father and he would probably pick it up fairly quickly. As would anyone who remembers wordperfect. Most people back then learned the "view codes" mode of wordperfect because it sidestepped the problems of wysiwig editing. Even my mother, who is entirely non-technical used the codes view at times.
- muppetman 16y agoOk, well your parents are much more clued in than mine! My Dad can figure out Word and Excel, but if he was expected to write codes I think he'd struggle. Maybe I'm being too harsh on him though.
