Gregory's Server@atthenius @Iragersh Google docs is completely different from LaTeX, as far as I know. FWIT, I use a free LaTeX distribution (MikTeX) with a free, open-source editor (TeXStudio).

@PallidaMors76 @Iragersh @PallidaMors76 @atthenius The company I'm with uses #CrystalReports (CR) for reporting. Its certainly not free even though we use an ancient version and we had to start using a command line add on to make the CR work. The decision to use CR preceded me. I don't know why it was chosen vs something like #LaTex or #MikTex. I can only think because CR is #WYSIWYG. @Iragersh @atthenius I see. Well, LaTeX is certainly not #WYSIWYG, though you eventually get used to it not being so 😬. @PallidaMors76 @atthenius This comparison of #LaTex editors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TeX_editors may serve as a guide. I may have used #MikTex. The name really sounds familiar. I personally don't care if a report writer is not #WYSIWYG. In fact, the nature of #CrystalReports prevents comparisons which I find a real drawback.  @PallidaMors76 @Iragersh @atthenius When you've written enough math in LaTeX, you get so used to the notation that it is effectively WYSIWYG. I got to a point where I could do the math itself directly in LaTeX. At least up to a point. @veronica @PallidaMors76 @atthenius If it was just about me there would be no hesitation but its not and I have to let others convince themselves that this is the way to go. |
@atthenius @Iragersh most journals related to technical stuff (maths, equations) require a LaTeX submission (less technical areas are fine with a Word file).
