LaTeX (not to be confused with the polymers used by diddybluds), pronounced "lay-tekh", is a typesetting system that follows the What You See Is What You Mean (WYSIWYM) philosophy (like Markdown, this very 'ki's styling and HTML).

Which means that instead of doing the point and click garbage that mindraped goycattle do with Word, you simply use commands like so:

% <- denotes a comment, which means it won't be part of the rendered document

% LaTeX is a clittycel that will leak if you don't put your package declarations at the top, kind of like YAML. Unlike it though, indentation is not important to the compiler.
\documentclass{article} % 90% of what you WILL write are articles, unless you are a soyentist
\usepackage{graphicx} % this package is necessary if you want to embed images, like in the following example
\graphicspath{ {./images/} } % tells LaTeX where to look for images


\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  do nusois really?

% below is some SNCA formula to highlight its relatively simple syntax
 \begin{align}
    E_0 &= mc^2 \\
    E &= \frac{mc^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}} % the first curly brackets block defines the numerator and the last the denominator
  \end{align} 
\end{document}

It's an extension of the TeX typesetting system, which was created by Donald Knuth. Many other similar distributions exist, such as XeTeX.

MediaWiki supports it natively.

Why you should use it[edit | edit source]

  • It's FOSS
  • It's offline first AKA no datamining, unless for whatever reason you want to be sodomized by AWS (see fourth point in the section below)
  • It's old and has a complex syntax; therefore it filters and BTFOs jeets and other low IQ subhumans (ev&oe GPT and other LLMs are quite good at writing boilerplates)
  • It's great for adding esoteric shit like circuit diagrams or formulae to your doc without going postal, by simply using math mode or TikZ
  • It exports seamlessly as a PDF and also with similar TeX compilers
  • Because of the former point it also works great alongside Pandoc, a document conversion tool
  • You can larp as an intellectual like Luke Smith did by using it with Vim

Why you should NOT use it[edit | edit source]

  • You're one of the aforementioned groups
  • You're scared to learn new things
  • You're an eternal goy paypig to microshaft
  • You're planning on using it on Overleaf
  • You're an unbothered germanic that doesn't want to waste his time, since Typst is better, has a less retarded syntax, also has a better compiler.
