>WYSIWYG babbies

laughing at people for being in a position you were in fewer than 5 years ago seems especially fagtastic. it's like you just learned how to tie your shoes this morning and you're already mocking people who can't.

if you're so enlightened, help people learn (La)TeX. otherwise, stop talking. eat some dicks if you need to.

stay mad winbabbies, I've been using LaTeX and CLI for more than 20 years

>>55745142
I do teach people how to write latex.
I had a job as an instructor at my uni, where I helped younger students with lab assignments.
One of the things they had to do was make a report of their work, and I wrote a document for them how to write latex. (as the pdf and as the tex file).
That way they could easily see how to install and build the document.

When I didn't give them this, I got 3/25 reports which were written in latex, and when I gave them this tutorial, I got 20/25 reports written in latex.

So I would say that it is possible to "teach" people latex in one or two pages.

not a windows user. here's a question for you: what's your setup? you must have autocompletions set up and stuff to help keep you efficient (especially with bibtex and whatnot). since you're using a CLI, are you on emacs or vim?

which packages are you using?

>>55745142
Idk why it is about latex, but if OP meant about making websites with drag and drop methods also, I never did that shit.

>>55745197
do you care to share this document with people? because it's widely agreed that latex has a pretty steep learning curve, and any effective resources would probably be helpful. i don't know how to teach people latex except to give them lots of documents with boilerplate code written in already, and that's not a good way to teach anything (it's just good for getting people up and running). so i'd really appreciate an effective guide to hand people

Then you must be a pretty cool guy with a healthy social life and surrounded by love :^)

I wish I was as cool as you

your story involves a thesis being due in 3 months. either you're misusing the word "thesis" or you're leaving out a crucial detail where the thesis was assigned like a year or more further back, and you spend 9+ months not aware of it.

Windows does have a CLI and can run LaTeX just fine.

if you weren't such an insecure loser you wouldn't constantly be trying to prove your intelligence by praising complex methods and disparaging easier ones and everyone who ever uses them
