Why I use LaTeX

When I tell people that I don’t use Microsoft Word, they are generally somewhat taken aback and then assume that, because I own a Mac rather than a Windows PC, that I just use Apple’s Pages instead.

I don’t!

In fact, I don’t use any kind of conventional word processor. I also don’t use PowerPoint for presentations or Visio for diagrams. Instead, I use what’s known as a ’typesetting system’ called LaTeX.
