A comment on I hate LaTeX, I love LaTeX. Parent comment
I have various custom C++ programs to generate the puzzles. But, getting the results to a formatted PDF was nearly impossible.
I use LaTeX as I can have my C++ program output a text file which, when compiled with LaTeX, creates the pretty puzzle books.
Essentially, I can press a button and “poof” I have a print-ready puzzle book ready to go up on Amazon.
