Latex also does the layout for you. Thats the entire point :). Also, it is surprisingly fast.

- fudged71 13y agoIt's a new layout, though.
- omaranto 13y agoYes and one better suited for PDFs I would think: PDF files are a sequence of pages, and LaTeX pours a little effort into choosing page breaks, when I print HTML pages from a browser, the division into pages seems to done with the greedy algorithm.
- fudged71 13y agoThe only thing that bothers be about LaTeX (or PDF readers?) is that I can't copy and paste cleanly from the document. Many glyphs get tied together, white space is lost, code doesn't come out cleanly, etc.
- Argorak 13y agoThats mostly a PDF/viewer problem. PDF is not really meant for C&P. Concerning quality of the PDF document, LaTeX very good in relation to other creators.
- fudged71 13y agoI absolutely agree in terms of quality. For being a universal document format, it's very frustrating that PDF readers don't make using them easier.
- DenisM 13y agoLooking at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Tables http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Tables I see that the column width needs to be specified to avoid text overflow. HTML does much better job, automatically fitting a table to desired width.
