im really glad that my latex template works for what im doing rn but if i ever had to use it for anything else I'd just not use latex again. idk why people kept recommending it.
the only real advantage over straightup using html+css is the support for math expressions.
which you easily solve by using something like mathjax or mathml whatever you think hurts less. and when the hell do you need that in the first place? not on a resume.
tbf, even tho i wasted literal hours on debugging latex i was still a lot faster than me trying to use conventional document editors like *any*-office because i have braindamage and can't use graphical user interfaces as well as i should, especially those with many layers and wormholes and whatever.
none of that would be an issue if text formatting for readability wouldn't have derailed into an ocd compliance competition.
for simpler documents markdown or rst are my personal favorites tho they're not full replacement for the things you can pull off in latex.
i never thought I'd be in FAVOR of html smdh. i guess im not, it's just a thought i had waking up, how next time im gonna use html instead of latex.
tl;dr stop using latex years of latex yet no real use case + html is the best sgml flavor so far

@lucy Pandoc flavored markdown with latex sprinkled in when needed is the comfiest setup when you need a simple document quick without TOCs, quotations and stuff like that.
