not being annoying FOSS troon.

>>106036203
bloat

Word has a ton of features meant for formatting the document. Markup languages are good for the computer but not for paper.
>inb4 LaTeX
Not user friendly, also needing to compile your paper to see changes is retarded.

Any self respecting adult would realize the different use cases for a markup language and a word processor.

>>106036379
99% of word documents can be done in markup and markup is easier to learn than word and less confusing.

I only use it to write my CV, mostly just in case someone asks me for a Word file instead of PDF, but so far no one has asked me for the Word version in years...
can you print markdown files to PDF?

>>106036650
nice. I always remember running the easter egg where you get to play a "3d" car(?) game, but I can't fucking remember which version or office or what program it was in.

>>106036473
Typst obsoletes this.

>>106036379

You can also use Tectonic, if you want less dogshit LaTeX tooling.

>>106037006
>can you print markdown files to PDF
Yes, you can export to both PDF and Word.
>>106037039
Typst is nice, but it's not adopted well yet. I can just send .md file to someone and they can open it.

A self-respecting adult would never use malware from the likes of MS.

use case for word processing?

>I hate Latex, it always has problems with multilingual stuff.
Skill issue. You must be using a BoomerTeX engine.
>Tectonic is a modernized, complete, self-contained TeX/LaTeX engine, powered by XeTeX ...
>XeTeX is an extension of TEX that integrates TEX's typesetting capabilities with (a) the Unicode text encoding standard (supporting most of the world’s scripts) and (b) modern font technologies (TrueType and OpenType)

It's called having a job.

usecase for job?

for when you need to underline text

>>106037647
>underline
This. Underline is way betther than bold and italics for grabbing one's attention, but you can't just grab zoomers attention without their consent, no no, it would hurt their fee fees. Meanwhile ads everywhere.

I earn 10x your salary and use LaTeX. This makes you very mad.

Word can use mail merge to generate personalized emails en masse.

>>106037083
Microsoft Word isn't the only word processor out there.

Xetex only solves some languages, it still has issues with others, it even has trouble with cyrillic.

>>106037229
no, it wasn't that one. I could be wrong, it might not have been office at all, but it was some sort of labyrinth or something, and IIRC you could shoot things

>>106036171 (OP)
There isn't a good real time editor outside of shit like notion and confluence that gives a good user experience writing these documents.
If I'm wrong I would be happy so please someone prove me wrong
