Urgh, LaTeX.
Tools with clunky UIs, nonintuitive markup, unhelpful error messages on failed compiles, and a glass-cannon bibliography manager.
Resourcelist:
- a latex primer
- mac-tex: latex resources for mac
- the one thing that made it worthwhile: automatic citeulike2bibtex export
- TexShop my latex tool of choice on the mac, for now
- Kile my linux-based latex tool-of-the-day (yes, someday I might go hardcore and just use VI… but I’m a sucker for IDEs)
