Once I had the chance to move away from Word, TeX was the first place I went. That said, I eventually tired of the obtuse error messages and felt I was making things more complicated for no real gain.
Even keeping a BasicTex environment working requires effort that HTML does not.

The error messages are pretty poor. > Even keeping a BasicTex environment working requires effort that HTML does not. I've been told, by Mac and Winodws users, that it's a pain. Personally I've never had to download extra packages/styles directly on Debian. Performing `apt-get install tex-<whatever>` normally installs everything (where `<whatever>` is something I find from a search in synaptic).
- chrisfinazzo 3y agoI solved the issue by installing manually, but even that is a pain with TeX Live - some of the directory tree needed to be created before BasicTex was aware of the packages I was using.
