- fluidcruft 12y agoFYI, the criticisms there are actually trivially handled by using the MathType and Endnote packages. The biggest challenge is I work in a field where Word dominates and collaborators don't do LaTeX and journals won't accept it. So, there is very little payoff for slogging over the LaTeX hill, unfortunately. The LaTeX to Word translators all blow and Track Changes rules the world for collaborative writing. There is no workflow that is not a pain in the ass to collaboratively write LaTeX with someone that can't use LaTeX or that sucks at LaTeX.
- jjgreen 12y agoThis is so true, I've tried Word/LaTeX collaboration twice, each time I spend more time cleaning up the conversion mess than writing the sodding paper; learn from my fail.
