      I’m surprised this is still getting responses.
      Fair jab, but I was obviously the computing term, implying “…from source code”.

        Yeah, even in that sense… the irony

        Ok I’ll stop being a prick 😂 if you haven’t used Latex before, you do write source code that gets compiled into PDF/PPT/whatever

            Sort of, if you’re writing a research paper or presentation or something like that with a lot of math in it, you can use Latex (for the whole thing, not just the formulas). It’s 10000X better than writing the same stuff in Word, especially if you know how to code
