TeX Live 2017 released
I&#x27;ve given up on tex. I&#x27;m typesetting a book right now, and getting the epub going was a piece of cake. Then I tried using LibreOffice for the print version and it was a nightmare to control via the API and buggy as hell. So I decided now would be a good time to try tex. After 2 solid days of yak shaving, I threw in the towel. It&#x27;s too fragmented, the documentation is terrible (complete - all 600 pages worth, but terrible for discovery or learning). It&#x27;s basically rabbit hole after rabbit hole, with most, if not all, tutorials directed towards typesetting your homework assignments.<p>All of the CSS&#x2F;HTML based solutions cost thousands per license, so that&#x27;s out.<p>I&#x27;m now on to SILE, which fixes a lot of problems with tex. I can only hope that it&#x27;s advanced enough to properly typeset a novel.
