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.

        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.
