LaTeX is too complex for lawyers to adopt

Where Markdown is not sophisticated enough, LaTeX is too complex for lawyers to make a habit of writing in it everyday. We need to marry Markdown’s ease of use with LaTeX’s layout power.

@ciaran What are the points which make LaTex too complicated? I remember that you mostly write your text – after setting up a sane template. Btw I like this series you doing here as I'm also in the transition to text files. My biggest blocker is that I want I need images and text

@V\_ I think anything that would require a lawyer to type something like \section{} or \paragraph{} regularly would be a non-starter.

That said, if there is a viable solution, I think it will make use of some LaTeX templates.
