There are many software products that can be used to write texts. Many of those that you may already know, however, like LibreOffice or Microsoft Word, pose challenges when used in a scientific context. LaTeX is designed to circumvent these challenges. Which of these are most important for you depends on your field of research, other tools you use and, last but not least, personal preferences, but they may include:
- LaTeX deals well and mostly automatically with references within the document,
- LaTeX plays well with version control software like Git,
- LaTeX can easily be edited not only by humans, but also by software,
- LaTeX can set mathematical expressions beautifully,
- LaTeX may already be the standard in your field of research.
After this workshop, you will know the differences between document editors like LibreOffice or Microsoft Word and systems like LaTeX. This will help you decide, which tool to use in which situation.
