      Last night, I was talking to my brother - who’s a mathematician by trade - and learned the following from him:

      LaTeX is Leslie Lamport’s (hence La) macro package on top of TeX.

      I’ve never used it, but for around fifteen years I’ve been working around people who do … And yet I never knew that.

        I used it a lot for university… and I did not know that.

        I did migrate to pandoc and markdown for a lot of stuff, with custom template files.
