  23. I am not comfortable with MS-word • http://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf • Why Latex • Professionally crafted layouts are available, which make a document really look as if “printed.” • The typesetting of mathematical formulae is supported in a convenient way. • Users only need to learn a few easy-to-understand commands that specify the logical structure of a document. They almost never need to tinker with the actual layout of the document. • Even complex structures such as footnotes, references, table of contents, and bibliographies can be generated easily. • Free add-on packages exist for many typographical tasks not directly supported by basic LATEX. For example, packages are available to • include PostScript graphics or to typeset bibliographies conforming to exact standards. Many of these add-on packages are described in The LATEX Companion . • LATEX encourages authors to write well-structured texts, because this is how LATEX works—by specifying structure.
