Advice for Writing LaTeX Documents
- naitgacem 3y agoThis whole latex thing seems very bizarre now that I've backed off a bit. As a student I was "recruited" into using latex, all the stuff about separating content and typesetting, pain free pictures, bibliography... I have tried and liked it for a while. or so I thought. until my roommate back then was telling me how his supervisor was teaching him "tricks" of some very common word processor, not gonna mention it not to sound like a shill. anyhow, then i tried doing the same and realized, literally everything i -personally- could do with latex, i could also do with this WYSIWYG word processor! everything including section numbering, auto formatting, pictures no longer move around, learned to use tabs, bibliography is a breeze once you use something like jabref, ... it was liberating i believe latex has its uses though, maybe if one had a template or someone with very specific needs. but for me, i started seeing it as a massive pain in the back. maybe I am getting old lol
