Much better looking output and much easier to compose.Īs for the bloat, disk space is pretty cheap these days. I now do most of my writing - business letters, slide presentations, etc. (Assuming I could have gotten the headers to behave properly.) It now looks very professional, something I do not think I could have achieved with Word. The book, by the way, is over 450 pages and has many program (mostly assembly language) listings. It has greatly simplified writing of my book. I'm still learning, and still amazed at what I can do with it. After fighting with Word's problems, I finally took the time to learn LaTeX. I needed to make some big changes in my book. So when you change the section to change the number of columns, blah, blah, blah. You can use sections, but these are used for other things. One of the big problems with Word is it does not allow chapters. I started writing a textbook a few years ago using Word on my Macintosh. LaTeX could be ten times as bloated as it is now, and I would still say it is worth learning and worth using.I agree 100%. I used LaTeX to write my master's thesis, a document containing many extremely ugly equations, and I remain convinced that using this system saved me months of work. The beauty of the output and ease of formatting technical documents are a dream come true for anyone writing scientific or technical papers, books, etc. Yes, LaTeX is a bit big, and on windows it can feel a bit clumsy at times, but it is well worth it. I have written by now just "Hello World" examples but I am afraid if it will give hundreds of dependency errors when my document gets complexed ![]() It is one of the biggest software I installed on my computer. During installation it installs 2-3 exclusive softwares like Ghostscript etc. Because I always use lightweight programmes and LaTeX may be powerful but I feel like it is bloated Just a LaTeX software has thousands of files, hundreds of folders, hundreds of. You may ask that "Why are you making this problem?". My question is that: Why LaTeX software is such a "huge", "complex" "system"? and when we "compile" the "source code" (.tex) our output is a. I understand that TeX is a some kind of language to write books etc. But MikTeX is not lightweight, actually it is huge, even it's "basic setup". ![]() Other softwares I found was based on MikTeX. I saw there is a MikTeX named software and it is the tiniest software about LaTeX on WinXP. But to apply the examples, I have to have a LaTeX installation on my system so I looked internet for a lightweight LaTeX software but interestingly after an hour or so I end up with no such a software on my system (I'm looking for Win XP). I downloaded the famous "Not so short." PDF e-book. I begin to learn LaTeX but I have a question about it.
