America's expectations for its leaders have always been low. We've had presidents who needed help with basic tech, and we were okay with it. But now, we face a terrifying prospect: a leader who might know how to convert a Word document to a PDF.

    Give me somebody who uses markdown with pandoc and I’ll be impressed.

        I think you’re looking for Emerald McS. et all, PhD.

        Or writes it directly in LaTeX.

          Or they manually create their own typography engine using ed, the standard editor.

          Where are you on a scale from convenient to a precursor of XML?

            Personally I write in org mode and export to LaTeX/pdf from there, so I’m at the convenience end of the scale, and the resulting file is probably less than a tenth the size of what someone would get from saving to pdf from Word.
