And why?
I tried it, used it and threw it out.
Compiling all the dependencies and loosing them and fixing them is tremendously shitty.
And the added value is quite low tbh
- kykeonaut 4y agoLaTex is the C++ equivalent in the world of typesetting languages. You can do amazing things with it and have a pixel perfect document at the expense of very high complexity.
- Certhas 4y agoIf you want to control the pixels in your document LaTeX is not your tool though. After all you write the content, and the layout is largely done for you. But if you want excellent automatic layout of text and mathematics, with awkwardly bolted on semi-automatic figure placement, it's your tool.
- mhh__ 4y agoIf you install a LaTeX environment I just press compile and it goes, where is the fixing?
- mecklyuii 4y agoThe packages broke constantly for me. And I tried and used it on Linux and windows. On windows it was even worse
- mhh__ 4y agoI've literally never had an issue with this and LateX is used by probably millions of technologically braindead academics and students (via Overleaf mostly these days, which does change the calculus) so maybe you're unlucky or cursed by Leslie Lamport
