SaltyVagrantLaTeX from Scratch
Learn LaTeX.
If you want to produce beautiful documents LaTeX is for you. If you need to maintain bibliographies, produce an index, draw diagrams, produce multiple output formats or layout, then LaTeX is for you.
If you are fed up of the battle to make MSWord do your bidding (or just not mess up your document), then is for you.
The reasons to use LaTeX are many and the only thing stopping most people is the fear that LaTeX is complicated or difficult to use. The truth is LaTeX is as simple (or complex) as you want to make it. For the vast majority of writer LaTeX is very simple to use but if you are a power user LaTeX can do pretty much anything you need.
