Typeset Poems

Eventually I grew tired of numbingly copying out the verse of other authors¹ and began to create things of my own. I only produced 2 treatises, one on Gastropods (snails), and another on the Catus Felis (Domestic² Cat).

From the moment I laid eyes on a \(\TeX\) typeset document, I fell in love with its style and figure. However, I thought it too difficult to learn, and instead spent my time in markdown.

Eventually whilst mastering that rather limited syntax, I found myself turning to YAML headers and \(\LaTeX\) snippets to get my work done with sufficient quality.

At some tipping point, the \(\TeX\) began to intrigue me and I began sloppily typesetting my University Mathematics assignments in \(\TeX\) and later carved out time in my Summer Holidays to work through the necessary tutorials.
