Open/LibreOffice Writer? Kind of like bringing an artillery regiment to
a knife fight, but it is ubiquitous and doesn't require months of effort
reading through man pages to generate a PDF.

I sometimes wonder about how someone as prolific and interested in Linux
and Open Source can somehow seem to be missing the fundamental desire to
figure out solutions to problems by themselves. The foundations of
solid understanding of technology are built brick by brick through
solving little problems one by one. Asking someone else to provide me
with a short cut to solutions without personal effort seems to me like a
personal defeat. I'm motivated by the thought that if someone else
could figure out something, I can do it.
Some people are goal-oriented and don't care how they get there. I
guess I'm more focused on the journey and place high value on making
each step myself.
