@dtl@8bitorbust.info I have dreamed for a decade about getting work to write our client-facing reports as .tex files versioned in an internal project git repo.
Maybe by the time my grandkids retire (my one daughter is four, for reference lol)

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange @dtl@8bitorbust.info one of the “most proud” moments at IBM was converting multiple teams to using LaTeX for all our customer documents. The learning curve wasn’t very steep since I build some classes and such to simplify things. We also (dear god this is painful) fed Rational Software Architect docs into a Python script that generated all of the diagrams and documentation we often had to provide to customers. This was going on for 8 years.
