Just use LaTeX
I really want to learn to use LaTeX
You don’t. I don’t know how to get you to trust me, but you don’t.
There’s no alternative. You have to learn latex if you want good results (or markdown).
Yes, but those things aren’t mutually exclusive.
What’s the alternative? Word is certainly not the answer.
When I say “those things aren’t mutually exclusive”, it means “it can both be true that you don’t want to learn Latex and that there are no viable sane alternatives to it”.
Which sort of makes your question silly.
Markdown is an easier “alternative” to latex. If someone provides you a layout and you’re happy with it, there’s no need to learn latex. There’s no easier way in writing slides than in markdown.
Git is git for documents
If you’re using MS Office, just don’t. Use Libre Office instead.
Or CryptPad
Yep, I think that is an amazing tool that deserves more attention
You can save the documents as
.fodt
and track the changes using Git.It’s always a struggle to get coworkers to use OneDrive’s version control for documents at work. Built in, you don’t have to do anything, and there’s still fifteen copies of the same document floating around.
