It doesn't have keyboard shortcuts for bolding text. Are there any free programs for setting up a book? I'm making a bestiary and I want a faded background but OpenOffice won't expand it past the margins. Scribus is fucking annoying. I might try Open Office Draw but that doesn't promise the best either. Any advice?
you already know the answer, OP.
>>97194684I was going to post that, and then I thought:>No, it's too horrible to bring upIt astounds me to this day that they turned writing into coding. God, I hate coders.
>>97194684>>97194730I clicked on this thread because I was curious on this. Can someone give context on how bad latex is?
>>97194672libre office can probably do it, you'll just have to wrestle with it for a while. otherwise you can do it as a watermark in MS word but i havent been able to ever set a different one per page>>97194684latex isnt even a writing program
>>97194806its literally unuseable because its not actually a text editor, its like a text editor codec or engine or whatever that needs an entirely seperate program built around it before you can do anything. noone has ever reccomended an editor that uses latex, and ive searched independently for one with no results, so 1) its unusable because its literally not a text editor2) no text editor that employs it seems to exist3) if one does exist it's so horrible that noone will even mention it as a joke
>>97194815Imagine being this retarded. >Python is not an IDE and thus is completely unusable.That is you. That is how you sound to normal people.
>>97194684>>97194730>>97194806I like the look of Latex stuff dont get me wrong, in a weird way, but will anyone actually buy that? I don't think so. They need pretty graphics.
I used LaTeX to make a CV/résumé using the moderncv package.Then I just remade the exact same document in Microsoft Word.
>>97195212... why?
>>97195224So that I would never have to touch LaTeX ever again.
>>97195190Use HTML and CSS if you want to get real fancy.
>>97194672Didn't Affinity switch to a free plan a while back? It's generally lauded as InDesign for indies
>>97195229overleaf makes it tolerable to use
>>97194806It requires an IQ above room temperature thus filtering most of the user base of this board.
>>97194672Scribus is based, I've been using that shit for like, 7 years and you simply just learn how to deal with the pain. Once you get a proper workflow going you'll get used to the shittiness and actually get stuff done in a reasonable time. >Doesn't have keyboard shortcuts for boldingWeakness
>>97194869Normal people would think a python is a kind of snake. You've spent too much time working on IT
