    I’m sorry but you can totally control the margin size in LaTeX if you learn the right incantation

    backslash UsEpAcKaGe letterpaper H-maaaaaaargin point seventy-niiiiiine inch brackets GEOOOOOMETRY

    then you spread the entrails slightly and stab towards the sky. Really don’t see what the big fuss is all about.

    A long while ago, I used to use kdissert (now semantik) to make all my white papers, from mind map to document, generating latex out, fine tune, and just gorgeous.

    Then I was forced to put them in word and hand it off to our graphics design people to put it into InDesign.

    I think I’m going to try semantik for more than mind maps again.

    The only thing I hate is how sometimes a document compiles perfectly fine on one machine only to utterly fail on another. On the two machines were I had this happen I have Texlive installed so that I wouldn’t have to look up missing packages. Maybe this is a version mismatch error? I have no clue.

    Also I had an old document I wanted to compile which used a ‘\begin{justifying}’ tag. I can’t get that tag to work anymore and had to replace it with just ‘\justifying’

    Yes, but that raises another argument, “lay tex” or “lay tek”… The endless fighting never stops!
