Typeset Treatises
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).
During this adventure I learned about maketitle, References, Glossaries, Figures, Images and page numbering.

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.
