I don't think this should have give...@mahakk01<br /><br />I don't think this should have given you much information regarding LaTeX other than the fact that there was a day where entire physics departments (and perhaps any many others) used LaTeX to typeset papers and that other methods (like MS Word/RTF) were considered ludicrous for this purpose.<br /><br />As you may know, LaTeX is a piece of software that allows you to decouple the document content to the document typesetting. This is very much like modern day HTML but tuned for papers, particularly those with mathematical equations. This post was just a statement of the depressing trend of physics academia moving away from established solutions to simpler yet less capable ones with lower learning curves.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011396231251001677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788284466297989064.post-70220739019688139962012-01-06T03:11:50.910-08:002012-01-06T03:11:50.910-08:00thankthankJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068876320485620659noreply@blogger.com
