Outlines in Word is excellent for ensuring that a document has excellent structure.
I use latex a lot (more than Word) yet people do not see its limitations. It would be best if Latex is replaced with something like open source Adobe Framemaker or something.

- catzaa 17y agoTo split a document up into multiple files. But the disadvantage is that Latex only has single includes - so you can not split a document up that much. (This is also a problem if you use images with equations such as those created by xfig (i.e. pure latex or PSTex PicTex). Usually most people would like to include an image as a separate file.

- limmeau 17y agoorg-mode in Emacs is nice for outline-oriented note-taking, and it can export to LaTeX.
- _pi 17y agoGah that thing almost drove me over to Emacs. By almost I mean, I couldn't get full vim functionality in Viper and gave up, some commands just can't be replicated. But org-mode is a very very nice tool. The current vim alternatives like viki and vim-outline do not compare.
