Still fighting with Word to format your thesis? LaTeX handles citations, cross-references, figures, and formatting automatically — so you can focus on writing, not fixing page breaks.

Our workshop covers everything from setup to submission-ready documents.

@dkz2r @thecarpentries LaTeX is amazing. You just need to spend the time required to get familiar

@rasmus91 @dkz2r @thecarpentries I agree the learning curve is steep, but it is worth it. The possibilites are endless. Always my number one tool when I need to have the outcome to be printed.

@lukascbossert @rasmus91 @dkz2r @thecarpentries LaTeX is a decent typesetting engine (although internally it's more of a stack of hacks on top of each other). But I don't think it's a great authoring environment. “Focus on wiring instead of formatting” is a myth if you have to literally weave formatting commands into your writing.

How would you achieve text formatting without weaving markup into your writing?

@TeXniker Well, I wouldn't, but I think there's a big difference between the unobtrusive markup of markdown and the verbose, English-language formatting instructions of LaTeX.
