Title doesn't match, it's ripped from the first paragraph which really doesn't encompass the theme of the article. The article is more tips for writing manuscripts in tex without getting sucked down rabbit holes
Recently had to track down and update my resume. When I finally found it I was able to quickly add last few years of updates on the commandline and run xelatex and done. It took much longer to track down the files than to update and ship it off, that is why I like latex. Building latex docs from scratch is incredibly daunting, fortunately there are many templates and often they are mandated for use.
- pch00 4y agoTitle doesn't match, it's ripped from the first paragraph which really doesn't encompass the theme of the article. Yes, in hindsight it came off more clickbaity than intended. The article did raise a theme of frustration I share though: sometimes you just want the framework/tooling to get out of the way and let you write, something that regularly comes up when I'm working through technical documentation.
- bradrn 4y agoIn fact, it appears the article has a different title: ‘Focus writing with (despite) LaTeX’, which I think summarises it much better. (Perhaps the author changed the title in the past few minutes?)
- jmtd 4y agoNo, I didn’t change the title. Blame the submitter :)
- peteradio 4y agoIt's not that big of a deal. I don't think anyone likes LaTeX so its a good way to get the gang together, clickbait or not.
- opless 4y agoAgreed, I don't know of a single person who *likes* LaTeX either. Also ... I strongly suspect jmtd is a masochist.
