This is a super niche use case, but maybe this: For DRM, you may be interested in using a cipher that is both easy to implement (though the spec makes this surprisingly confusing because they can't keep their orders of stuff straight),

What's even more problematic is when you get into the shady stuff. I believe it's clear that there are things that people have to develop anonymously for their own safety. Examples include PC tools to reverse engineer stuff, con

Straight up: No, it can't. It will blow MS Word and LibreOffice out of the water. It can get close to TeX, but very noticeably eqn(1) is inferior to math mode. Table of contents generation and putting it at the top of the document is
