5 Reasons for LaTeX
|
||
|
||
@content
|
||
1. Besides Word, LaTeX is **one of the two dominant typesetting systems** in the academic world.
|
||
2. ++ **Mathematical formulas** feel most at home in LaTeX. This is why the LaTeX formula notation has been integrated into numerous other tools (e. g. OneNote, Word, Wikipedia, …).
|
||
3. ++ There are **countless packages** for the most diverse areas of application.
|
||
4. ++ LaTeX was developed to produce **aesthetically pleasing typesetting** — and you can see that in the texts it produces.
|
||
5. ++ Complex documents typeset in LaTeX **facilitate collaboration** enormously (e. g. through versioning, proper document structuring, templates, reliable undo, …).

LaTeX' Shortcomings
|
||
|
||
@content
|
||
* Typesetting text can be **cumbersome**, especially for short documents.
|
||
* **Layout adjustments** are only possible within certain limits.

The “LaTeX vs. Word” debate is very old. If you are interested in tracing it, we can recommend the following article as a starting point:
|
||
|
||
Moorhead, A.V. [**Is LaTeX use correlated with the number of equations in a manuscript?**](https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-021-04119-2). Scientometrics 126, 8259–8273 (2021).
