An Efficiency Comparison of Document Preparation Systems Used in Academic
- PaulHoule 6y agoI found I got better grades when i wrote lab reports in TeX.
- stochastician 6y agoI'm entirely willing to believe this to be the case; every paper I've written has been in LaTex and while the tooling has improved (emacs, overleaf, now even VScode's latex mode is great), there's still a learning barrier. But one thing I want to stress is that LaTeX lets you produce _camera-ready_ documents with minimal additional effort. As we seek to reduce the cost of publishing and reduce the power and overhead of traditional journals, the legions of layout editors and horrible proprietary expensive CMSes need to be disrupted somehow.
