Came across some of my older LaTeX documents. God, I really miss math and physics. If I won the lottery, I’d drop everything and go back to university – to study those properly, not just as a minor subject. 🥺

@movq Ahh this reminds me of my own LaTeX days when I used to use a program (I used to use Linux on the Desktop back then) called LyX 😅

@prologic Good old LyX. 😅 I’ve never really used it, though, I was a heavy Geany user back then.

@movq Hmmm interesting IDE/Editor...
No Vi key bindings?

@prologic No idea, this was before I finally switched to Vim. 😅 There appears to be a plugin, but I’ve never used it.

@movq can (La)TeX be used without those heavy dumpster fires? lol
@novaburst Which heavy dumpster fires? LyX or Geany? Then yes. A Makefile and a text editor of your choice will do the trick. Actually, this is how I’ve used LaTeX most of the time.
*But* if you consider Geany a heavy dumpster fire, then LaTeX might not be the right tool for you. 😅 LaTeX is pretty large and, sadly, pretty slow. The results are awesome, but it’s far from being lightweight.
If you’re looking for an alternative, troff could be interesting. Seninha gave a talk about it at the nixers conf last year: https://nixers.net/Thread-Nixers-net-Conf-2021

@movq @prologic @novaburst I started out with the MiKTeX distribution and then went on with Kile as the LaTeX IDE after changing to Linux. Shortly after I used Vim, of course. The results are super awesome looking, but the error messages are easily the worst I've ever come across. Oh, the compiler reported an error in line 742, where it finally gave up. Damnit, the error is actually *somewhere* in the range of lines 1-742. Good luck finding that. Always compiling at least twice, better three times is something, I'm not missing either. Sure, just put it in the Makefile, but still. The syntax is also something I don't really like, but that's just personal taste. My application documents were the last things I've typeset using LaTeX.
To produce weekly schedules and personalized time tables for summer camps I generated LaTeX documents from the data model of my planning software. That was in fact the easiest option to get PDF documents. Ones that are even also very good looking in the end without much effort. But yeah, it took quite some time to compile all those files.
