Into latex, are you?



SWMBO did her PhD thesis in LaTeX. It was harder to learn but a damn sight
more stable than Word. I spent quite some time helping another friend
recover the formatting on their PhD thesis in Word everytime it collapsed
in a heap of crap.

LaTeX probably took nearly as much effort but it allowed the effort to be
put in early rather than in a blind panic 30 minutes before a copy needed
to be printed with revisions!

Personally, IME the print quality from LaTeX beats Word buy miles...
