9 October 2006 - What is LaTeX and Why You Should Care
On
defmacro.org there's an
article on LaTeX. I've used it in the past and it's really the best tool to write and mantain large documents.
Recently I've tryed
DocBook to write documentation for applications, but I feel more confortable using LaTeX. Next time I have to write more than a few pages I'll definitely use LaTeX.
A quote from the article.
Now that the old days are long gone and word processors
come preinstalled with every machine, why should we care
about this remnant of history? The answer is that
remarkably LaTeX is much better suited for composing and
distributing most types of documents than any other modern
word processor on the market that I am aware of. Just like
programming languages tend to converge towards Lisp because
it got things right the first time around, so do the Word
Processors tend to converge towards LaTeX.
