FUCK THIS STUPID PIECE OF SHIT >want to make a bulleted list

Have to use this shit for algorithms hw. Spend more time formatting on this then solving the problems.

Part of your problem is you think Latex is a program :^)

>>61051669
where did i say LaTeX was a program you shit eating mongoloid?

>>61051635
It's a typesetting system, what did you expect? A WYSIWYG editor?

>>61051676
The part where you implied the reason \item only autofills sometimes is a result of Latex

>>61051678
what the fuck else could you possibly want to do in an itemization environment EXCEPT itemize? I use LaTeX all the time because WYSIWYG editors are trash, but even in shit like TeXStudio you get stupid shit like this.
If I have

\begin{itemize}
\item bullshit
\end{itemize}

As long as I am inside that environment, the next time I press the enter key it should automatically insert \item I shouldn't have to press enter, CTRL+SHIFT+I, and then keep going.

Your problem is NOT with LaTeX but rather with your text editor, dumbass.

just use markdown faggot.

u sure ur mom didnt drop you on your head when u were a toddler

>>61051635
It's not my fault you're retarded OP.

>>61051635

Use AUCTeX in emacs.

LaTeX is a necessary skill. Keep at it and you'll be a pro before you know it. Eventually, you'll be so proficient that you'll realize LaTeX totally DOES suck ass after all.

TikZ is a fucking crime against humanity.

>>61051635
use LyX. It's awesome and produces perfect LaTeX every time.

>>61051702
>there are people who use shitty LaTeX-specific editors with GUIs
>they don't use a text editor and then run pdflatex

I swear, people want to make it harder on themselves.

>>61051676
don't be rude
the dude is right tho, you are stupid, learn what latex is before shitposting

No thanks, I'll keep liking latex more

Stay pleb.

How much did you pay for your latex editor to expect such features?

Texmaker is a wysiwiyg Latex editor, notice the toolbars at the left in the pic, you just press a button and it outputs the formatting keywords

>>61051635
You fucking moron. You are complaining about you ide.

>>61051740
>the next time I press the enter key it should automatically insert \item

What if every item is several paragraphs long, you fucking retard?

>>61056611
>Texmaker is a wysiwiyg Latex editor, notice the toolbars at the left in the pic, you just press a button and it outputs the formatting keywords

Do you even know what WYSIWYG means?

>>61056652
>Do you even know what WYSIWYG means?
yes, do you even see the preview window in the pic?

>>61056669
WYSIWYG means writing directly in the preview screen, without having to compile your shit every time you want to see any changes, without having to deal with code at all.

Having buttons that insert predefined code is not WYSIWYG.

>>61051635
I like it. Only problem I had recently was that putting hexdumos in an lstlisting somehow created a loop which causes latex to crash. And I can't figure out why this is happening.

>>61053178
Whoa, this is nice. Thanks.

>>61053666
Why even bother going the hard road when you can overleaf it?

>>61056647
/thread

ps. you're retardet

If for some reason don't understand LaTeX you could always use LyX, or drop out.

>>61056669
https://www.lyx.org/ is WYSIWYG you mongoloid.

>>61051635
The logo itself screams retardation

>>61051635
Fucking retards who can't even latex, pretty sad to see on a fucking technology board.

no, it fucking isn't

latex is garbage and has been deprecated by literally any major html layout engine.

also tons of transpilers will output ok enough TeX garbage so u can look like some cool kid faggot and have your stupid math formatting and TeX literal blocks.

no shit. that's why you use proper canvas api drawing tools and output SVG's

only a fucking retard would try to use that shit to make anything.

So get an editor that does exactly this? Wipe the drool of your chin, you look like a faggot

AUCTEX is the shit, with outline you can fold unfold your section, and you have autocomplete for most of the "not so cool to type stuff", managing templates you could boost your productivity.

>>61053538
I do all my diagrams in TikZ, by hand.

Come at me.

>>61057048
I haven't used overleaf, but I feel so at home with my text editor and its shortcuts, and I'm familiar enough with LaTeX that I don't see a need to introduce a new application for it. I can't imagine it'll actually speed up my productivity, especially since pdflatex doesn't ever take long to run.

>>61056708
you think wysiwyg means 'hide the source code', it doesnt mean that, there are plenty of wysiwyg editors that BOTH generate code for you and give a preview. The fact that you think that Word is somehow better or more wysiwyg because it hides source code pretty much shows why people who use Word are pleb level morons

what should i read to become superior in tex/latex?

>>61065200
asciidoc is superior
way more clean than latex

>>61065567
why would you even waste your time on that?

>>61065567
just watch some youtube tutorials

What YouTube tutorials

Also which latex editor should I use on windows

You forget how you need install a lot of editors, additional apps and Tex -> PDF plugins.

I regularly make lists of paragraphs with equations and all kinds of stuff. If every linebreak invoked another bulletpoint, the itemize environment would be utterly useless to me.

A word of advice, if you ever feel like something technical and advanced doesnt make any sense, and especially if it is something that people much smarter than yourself have no problem dealing with, it very well might be because of your own lack of understanding, experience and insight.

Unless you want to come across as a shortsighted, stubborn, entitled, whiny, little prick, I suggest you try understanding instead of shouting "THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. THIS IS DUMB." Anyone willing to listen will usually just disregard your complaints and take away an impression that it is _you_ who is dumb.

You could start by asking questions like "why is it like this", instead of stating that "this way has to be dumb, because I am not able to imagine its reasoning." The discussions youd get out of that would be much more rewarding.
