(La)TeX is awesome

Thanks for this article. We use LaTeX and tex4ht to produce documentation for our commercial products. They do an amazing job. We have both beautiful PDF manuals and nicely-accessible HTML versions and because they're generated from exactly the same source, they're guaranteed to be semantically identical.

We also do a bit of pre- and post-processing so that from any page in our product's web interface, there's a help link that takes you to the exact section of the manual describing that page. And finally, the documentation process fits extremely well into our git/make workflow.

Sometimes the old ways really are the best ways.
