May not answer the question, but using LaTeX and producing PDFs from it works best for me. Also, it is free (as in libre) software.

- panpanna 6y agoLatex is also very old and a huge pain to debug when things go wrong. I would love to see a complete office package based on some markdown language. It would be simple to understand and use. Speaking of markdown, can someone please release an updated version of RST? The kernel folks use it for documentation so I'm surprised no one has yet tried to improve the spec and the tools.
- dm319 6y agoJust to clarify - the motivation for this was a partially read-only government document that had checkboxes and text input fields. There are occasions when you need maximum compatibility, but for other times I much prefer (xe)tex with my favourite editor (n)vim. Libreoffice Writer is also absolutely fine, and would be my preference for a word processor, especially with it's new ability to change the layout between classic and ribbon.
