Where time and effort goes in
Indexing - keeping chapter, section, subsection, figure indexin proper order
What if I have to add a new section or subsection
Making table of content, list of figures and tables
Managing figures and written space
Writing formulas
Making figures
To give document a good look

LATEX : Need of other documentation software
Writer should focus on writing without being distracted byvisual presentation of document
LATEX is document markup language
Basic featuresTypesetting journal articles, technical reports, books,and slide presentations.Control over large documents containing sectioning,cross-references, tables and figures.Typesetting of complex mathematical formulas.Automatic generation of bibliographies and indexes.Advanced typesetting of mathematics, Multi-lingualfonts

A simple LATEX file
\documentclass{article}
\title{Cartesian closed categories and the price of eggs}
\author{Jane Doe}
\date{September 1994}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Hello world!
\end{document}
will produce something like this:
Cartesian closed categories and the price of eggsJane Doe
September 1994Hello world!
