I'm interested in getting a sense of what kind of use people in the
Humanities make of LaTeX or Context.
I use LaTeX for typesetting works on classical philology and
Indo-European linguistics. I have a guide up on it at
http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latex.php
as well as a guide on typesetting Old Church Slavonic at
http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latexocs.php
Check the first one out in a couple of days, I'm soon to upload major
improvements.
i've just looked at them both: they look good -- have you already
uploaded?
LaTeX's support for multiple languages and scripts is a dream,
generating high-quality print-ready output with a minimum of fuss
while Word simply looks dreadful. It's especially good for Greek,
since one can install the Oxonia font, making one's Greek texts look
as refined as anything from the Oxford Classical Texts series.
fwiw, i've got rather fluent typing multilingually in word; admittedly
i only type class exercises for modern greek, but it's not _all_ that
bad (and one can use lucida sans unicode for output, which is quite a
respectable font).
however, i can imagine word for philology being a bit of a crock.
