Latex produces some really good looking documents and because of this I tried to pick it up. I was hoping it would make typing up my maths assignment a much quicker process.
What I find insanely frustrating is that because of all the marks up in a .tex file it becomes impossible to navigate and find where things are. Consequently, I spend an enormous amount of time trying to figure out what I need to edit.
It's selling point is you can concentrate on the content but I have found this not to be the case since your so busy finding out where the content actually is when you need to edit. I keep recompiling documents so I can actually check what I've typed out. Then I need to use this as a reference to find the original text in the .tex
Am I missing something? Is there no way to have some kind of preview up? How do you guys navigate massive documents?
