@skyblond The most difficult part about using \LaTeX is getting the text to line up correctly. Tix and Beamer are great.
To me, the most difficult part is not breaking the layout. I don't know what's going wrong, but sometimes I made some minor changes and the result is completely different.
@skyblond I had to learn it as a Mathematician and it was a nightmare to get right for a while. TexStudio made it easier.
Also, glad to know it's called "lay tex". I always called it "lah tex" to distinguish from that rubber meaning.
