So, I'm seeing a lot of chatter in the thread about LaTeX and converting that to HTML and PDF, so LaTeX should be the superior single source of truth. Please keep in mind that many areas of science think of latex as an allergy. I even have a colleague, a plasma physicist, who strongly encourages his team to not use LaTeX because a) collaborators get confused and b) it can be a massive time suck.
- clircle 3y agoI agree with your colleague. At my institution, all of the lowest quality drafts I read are made with latex. I think it's because the programs people use to write latex do not have spelling and grammar checking. Also, the people that prefer latex, are the same types of people that are more interested in technical things, than spelling and grammar.
