    I love the idea behind LaTeX, but one of the things I struggle with is that almost every other formatting language has a simple WYSIWYG editor available. I’ve searched quite a bit and they all seem to rely on a decent amount of pre-existing knowledge to get started.

    Is there something I’m missing or do I just have to power through the syntax? I personally struggle without being able to experiment with a GUI and work my way backwards.

    Seriously, though. 9 times out of 10, markdown has all the formatting I need for the task at hand. On the rare occasion I need something more, I’m glad I have access to Apple Pages, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.



  • From my experience in IT, it’s almost always a local network issue in the end. That’s not to say, the user’s fault. But the distance a little education on home networking could go to save a technician having to come to your house a day or two later just to fix something that could be done in a few minutes is not insignificant.
