Re: Useful Function - Help Me Understand

The interface is cleaner, that's all. But that is my opinion of course.

LaTeX has gone through different stages. There is TeX, LaTeX uses its primitives. The LaTeX kernel has some primitives as well. Extensions to make coding more clear were added over time. Still in development is LaTeX3, but it is fairly stable and ready to use now. Quite a few packages use it.

Important thing to be aware of: It doesn't really matter what you choose, the user experience will be the same.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
