Found mistakes in a PDF I was reading for my paper, but it's just that symbols in equations got eaten by whichever print-to-PDF program was used when the original document was saved to PDF from Word 2007. Welp.

It uses the default Word 2007 template: Calibri, Cambria, shades of light blue. It's a paper that someone at my uni wrote in 2011 and I'm referencing it, or at least trying to reference it. LaTeX is used very rarely in my department, probably because it's stupid hard to get stuff working, especially on Windows. In Word you get all of the useful stuff (fonts, colours, graphics, equations, tables, &c) out of the box and easily available. In LaTeX all of that is in separate packages, and you have to read every package's docs to see which commands you need and with which arguments. That said, once you learn it, the results can be good.

To be fair. I looked at LaTeX once and then dropped it like a hot brick. Did not feel like putting in that much time investment for getting some writing to look nice. I like to try and convince people to accept my files in HTML format! Hahaha.

I do a lot of documents as HTML. For example, all of the lab reports that I did are just HTML pages with CSS; when I needed graphics and equations, I turned to SVG and MathML. Firefox has a very nice print-to-PDF interface so there's a simple workflow from getting a document as Markdown, running it through a script to get a standalone HTML file, and then a PDF if necessary. For complex documents that need page numbers, table of contents, different styling for specific pages, nothing beats TeX, especially since support for printing styles is weak in just about every browser.
