i use sharelatex.com

tell us more about your poverty you filthy rat

>giving your work away for free
yes yes, post your scientific works to the botnet instead of publishing, good goym

A small price for typographical excellence.

that's not even the worst thing abour Latex

I think like 90% of it is the uncompressed fonts.
The good part is that it's portable, so you can throw it on a flash drive once and use it wherever you need to.

>install MS Office
>5 gigabyte + free botnet

retard

Oh wow is this real?

overleaf for a quick edit

>good goym

Goy. Goyim is plural. Learn your Jow Forumsspeak.

Or just use plain TeX.

Fuck off, Soygoy

Freedom ain't free

See? Much better.

Don’t forget to install pandoc with it, now you have 3.8GB

I’m not very good at groff, does anyone still use it? It looks a little bit more comfy for letters and stuff

Actually I just want to write markdown, with some tiny additions for alignment and generate pdf. Markdown parsers seem minimal and fine, but HTML sucks, transpiling to TeX sucks and ‘print to pdf’ sucks even more

Is it possible to use LaTeX to write pdfs that look like normal pdfs you would get if it had been made in Word? This is to avoid the pretentious academic faggotry-look

Welcome to STEM.

That's insane. Why would I do this to my computer

Why the fuck would you go through the trouble of using latex for something that looks like it came out of word?
Don't use a research paper template if you don't want it to look academic

Yes, just use a different template/font

No. Latex isn’t a word processor.

Also, just use fucking overleaf.

Welcome to appdev shit.

fucking idiot

>install Open Office
>it's 317 MB

Isn't that literally the whole point of LaTeX?

You went wrong when you install OpenOffice.
If you insist on a office suite, LibreOffice is the only sensible choice.

Just change the font to calibri or Arial. 99% of the recognition factor of LaTeX is Computer Modern.

Not really, it’s the rendering.
You could show me 100 pictures of word and LaTeX documents formatted anyway, I guarantee you I could get 100% correct.

Sorry, I’m just too busy being free. Free as in freedom, not free beer.

install pandoc without any of the LaTeX stuff, and use wkhtmltopdf as the pandoc PDF engine to render Markdown -> HTML -> PDF seamlessly, without bloat and optionally styled with CSS.

you're welcome.

>freedom

Move to China, North Korea, Venezuela and tell me about the "freedom".

Thanks user

you're full of shit

i study physics at the university of helsinki and they give us free laptops with all that already installed. pretty chill

They gave the same laptop to Jamal too

Test me.

>giving your work away for free
Sharelatex isn't free

>not using overleaf

>it's 3 gigabytes
Base TexLive is less than 100mb

brainlet question
why i can't download only times new roman? Isn't it the standard?

>Have an 8TB hard-disk
>Complain about installing 3GB

disk space is for anime collections and not programs

>you're not allowed to have your own work
>hurrr durrr so free

communism is literally being a work cuck.

But he's not in China, North Korea or Venezuela - why bring them up?

You know too much, Hitler would have gassed you just in case.

>visual studio
>2-6gb
Lmao, try like 10gb minimum

How did they manage it in the 80s when 3gb was the whole hard disk?

Sorry I wouldn't like to be laughed at by using a Word document.
It might be ok for you Pablo, after all those memos aren't that complex.

Imagine a board full of retards like this. Wouldn't that be frightening?

Not as frightening as being a fartsniffing redditor.

>80s
>3gb

you fucking wish

Is that your dad?

Well you will need Office anyways because of the people at HR who sends shit like that

Throw out Intel C++ for clang and stop using boost. Otherwise, yeah, it sucks.
