		apepe on Feb 11, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Designing a Business Card in LaTeX Unlike what most LaTeX users may think, LaTeX is actually not even widely adopted in academia, with less than 20% of scholarly articles published every year written using LaTeX (https://www.authorea.com/107393-how-many-scholarly-articles-...). That said, it is the only powerful option to professional typeset mathematical notation. And for that reason, it is used by few in some non-academic research fields (military, gov, pharma, tech, HN readers).

If I read the blog post I learn that

- Latex is widely adopted in hard science.

- Latex is not widely used in other disciplines such as sport science.

I think this matches with what most latex users think.
