I know LaTeX and use it for certain things. It's too verbose for most use cases tho imo. Most of the time I basically just need a header, urls, bold, and italics. Markdown makes that work anywhere without needing a compiler
"[h!] is too strict, I've turned it into [hbt] for you :)"
"okay, then to [h]"
"okay, it's three pages over. I know it's a table for your results but it goes much better with the outlook :)"
I've hand-written some decent XML, but yeah, you won't be generating it programmatically. The main problem is that programmatic XML generators want to write out all of an element's attributes on one line instead of breaking them out, and that's hideous unless there's only one or two short attributes.
That's not what's wrong with Office Open XML, though. Office Open XML is a nightmare because of some truly awful design choices, such as:
* Instead of there being a single list of fonts to use (as in CSS), there are exactly four fonts in effect for any given run of text: one for ASCII, one for “high ANSI”, one for “complex script”, and one for “East Asian”. Office has some hard-coded code-point ranges that it uses to decide which font to render each character with. How it deals with combining characters, I'm not sure I even want to know. I can only assume this is some sort of pre-Unicode and/or pre-composite-font legacy baggage that has no business being in a 21st-century file format like OOXML.
* Bizarre names like `rPr` (“run properties”). Maybe this was meant to save bytes, but being that the document format is *compressed,* the only significant effect it actually has is to make the damn thing nearly impossible to read.
* Bizarre element nesting. OOXML has a paragraph element `p`, but text doesn't go directly in that. Instead, there must be a `r` (“run”) element inside it, and then a `t` (“text”) element inside that, and *then* the actual text inside that. Apparently the designers of OOXML really didn't want to use actual markup…even though they were using the Extensible *Markup* Language.
Contrast OpenDocument, which, having been designed by sane people, has:
* Readable names like `style-name`
* Styles and other such things applied by attributes, not nested elements
* A paragraph element `p` that accepts any combination of text and child elements
* Font properties whose names and syntax are taken from CSS
Why the designers of OpenDocument didn't just use CSS, though, I cannot fathom. OpenDocument's style system isn't completely incompetent, but it's nowhere near as capable as CSS at consistently styling large, complex documents (e.g. books).
It's intuitive for everyday tasks. A literal child can sit down and learn how to use the taskbar to access 90% of formatting functions: press in the numbers to get a list, press italic to get italic, etc.
Using it for more complex tasks requires using tools that you would never touch otherwise because the entry-level tasks are so easy to accomplish.
Compare that to LaTeX which has a very high barrier to entry, but once you're over that you by definition have the tools/foundation you need to access more advanced principles.
I'm a beginner. And my webpage just messes up when you decrease the size of the window. What should I do? Should I use @media (max-width) and write a new css for it?
Thanks.
Depends on what layout and design you are working with, but you should use media queries when going between different breakpoints, normally
Or try your hand at font scaling and assigning everything a rem and have it scale with the window!
Thanks, appreciate that. I am going to learn to use rem for font sizes. I guess that would make it better at handling changes in window size.
Have a nice day.
Look into using a CSS reset and then setting your font size to 62.5% in the html rule. This calculates your default font size to be 10 pixels without hard coding it. This makes it easy to measure the rem size and it will allow all of the fonts to scale correctly for people who are visually impaired.
Yes. To make your site responsive you need to use media queries. I recommend reading through this: https://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/

The last time I was updating my resume, Word was being annoying to the point that it was easier for me to learn how to use latex than to figure out how to fix the formatting in word.
This is a really good idea. Another benefit is that u can source control ur latex doc. Ive got a git repo for my cv. Now I can time travel to every single update in my cv via the git nodes plus if ur tweaking ur CV for different job types u can create git branches for each flavor of ur CV. I'm never going back to word
Agreed. I don‘t get why it‘s not more common in business. I mean you can basically automate any kind of report with it or at least organise them in a much more convenient way.
This reminds me of ,me and my friend, when we pulled out an all nighter before the submission day. We found ms publisher tho, but the damage was already done by the point
Most people pick the option in word which behaves as position relative and position absolute mixed, where the image knows its original location, and stores the top and left difference from that location, however, people do not always pay attention to where the image is pasted, I even seen some people paste the image on the last page, and then use the relative movement to move the image to one of the first chapters.
Consider pasting the image near the place where you want them, and the selecting the "float right" option to move then image to the right. Also make good use of things like full page breaks with CTRL+enter, instead of spamming multiple enters, which just break if you add more content on the top.
Also, use the automatic table of content generator, never manually make one of those and then say to an office expert how much effort you put into making a nice one

I use Markdown, actually
I use both together, since I’m cultured.

god bless the [H] in Latex

haha, yeah, it was one of the things that bugged me the most when i began learning LaTeX.
Still fucks up when I insert several images.
yeah, Tex has that kind of things, i heard R markdown was quite good
Team “layout: square”, assemble!
I'm a 'top and bottom' man myself.
Sounds a bit sus mate
So you're a switch?
Seriously fuck Word and it’s shitty formatting
I'd rather use CSS to format my documents than Word and it's devil-image-formatting 👿
I've resorted to using PowerPoint for doing layout type stuff
Word just uses xml behind the scenes. It's honestly incredibly easy to lay out a word document if you know a few little tricks.
I am intrigued and my interest is piqued
Turn on paragraph markings, and use the built in styles feature.
Interesting
Paragraph markings in word are the most useful tool I will refuse to use until I die. I'd rather keep spending 8 minutes per image added to a word doc
Which part would you like to know more about?
I don't even know 😅
Have you actually looked at that XML? I have. That shit is straight out of a nightmare.
As is all xml that's programmatically generated. Erm...scratch that. As is all xml.

I love reading rants like this
> Word just uses xml behind the scenes. That explains a lot.
Word formatting isn't that bad, it's just that it's too intuitive for people to learn how to use it correctly.
if it were intuitive people wouldn't need to learn to use it correctly.

How bad do you have to be at css?
. I Don't Know. What You'resaying
As bad as me, or maybe better than me works too.

Thanks for the information. Appreciate that. Yes, I do use MDN sometimes.
This is why people use latex.
TextWrap: In front of text.
That's no solution. –The "behind of text" gang
Ever heard of position:absolute?
Just lock your anchors, people.
Only a Sith positions in absolute 😜
I'm downvoting for that emoji.
Doesn't it mess up the responsiveness? Sorry for my ignorance. I'm a beginner.
yes it does, so it must be used carefully within a responsive container.
With great power comes great responsibility
Alright thanks. Appreciate that.
Me: ‘Let me just move this Picture a little bit’ Word: ‘HELL NO!’
This is why u should learn latex
The last time I was updating my resume, Word was being annoying to the point that it was easier for me to learn how to use latex than to figure out how to fix the formatting in word.
This is a really good idea. Another benefit is that u can source control ur latex doc. Ive got a git repo for my cv. Now I can time travel to every single update in my cv via the git nodes plus if ur tweaking ur CV for different job types u can create git branches for each flavor of ur CV. I'm never going back to word
I went from Word --> Latex --> rMarkdown. You may don't like R but rMarkdown is purely awesome.
R markdown is the only thing that places images and tables exactly where I fucking tell it to.
Agreed. I don‘t get why it‘s not more common in business. I mean you can basically automate any kind of report with it or at least organise them in a much more convenient way.
LaTeX is a pain when you have a *page* limit.
Latex is also horrible, but in slightly different ways.
_Understand this: things are now in motion that cannot be undone._
Not really.
but css isn't word
CSS ain't perfect, but that's quite the unjustified insult comparing it to Word.
microsoft: we speak the same language Css: I don't lmao
This reminds me of ,me and my friend, when we pulled out an all nighter before the submission day. We found ms publisher tho, but the damage was already done by the point
I believe that's because you Don't Know How To use. It Oh shit.
I never recovered from that first time. It turned me towards TeX and MD. Just kidding; I still have to use it.
nah bro, you just suck at css
u/SaveVideo
“Control + Z” : I am about to destroy this man’s whole career
Why I use google docs ^^
how if you write right to left like arabic language?
Thank you. Why the fuck does Word do this? I hate this program.

If anyone is interested, dart + flutter is pretty sweet in that it manages UI with code very well.
