It leads to a disproportionate sense of shame and I can't look people in the eye for a while.Sannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482859224170145636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256767003732037215.post-31526228142177369082011-01-04T22:03:20.294+08:002011-01-04T22:03:20.294+08:00Sounds very neat.

I don't like extra spacing on the screen, but will use the extra spacing when submitting... however I have been known to forget to change it before pressing print!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505178078022849307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256767003732037215.post-35862095293667253802010-10-21T13:30:11.103+08:002010-10-21T13:30:11.103+08:00I used LyX (which uses LaTeX under the hood) for m...I used <a href="http://www.lyx.org/" rel="nofollow">LyX</a> (which uses LaTeX under the hood) for my <a href="http://www.heeris.id.au/sites/default/files/Jason%20Heeris%20-%20Thesis.pdf" rel="nofollow">physics honours</a> and <a href="http://www.heeris.id.au/sites/default/files/Jason%20Heeris%20-%20Eng%20FYP.pdf" rel="nofollow">engineering final year project</a>.<br /><br />The editing of text is decoupled from the presentation of it, so I could completely change the appearance while editing. I tend to have 16-18pt sans-serif (I find sans-serif easier to read on a screen, serif easier on paper), black text on very faint pink background for editing.<br /><br />Then when it runs your document through the TeX typesetting engine it'll come out nicely formatted. For the output, I mostly stuck to the LaTeX defaults. I think I bumped the margins out, though. 1.5x spaced lines, and the LaTeX default font (Computer Modern) at 11pt.<br /><br />(By the way, it bit of a pain to comment here. I can't just fill in name/email/website/comment like usual...)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704456143180806343noreply@blogger.com
