I’ve been doing an internship (it’s chemistry, in a research unit, in a firm) since the beginning of April that will last until August. My report will be due in August or in September - due date is not fixed yet.

This market resolves YES if and only if the final version of my report that I will hand over to my chemistry school and to the firm has been obtained by compiling LaTeX code.

Please do note that due to a confidentiality clause, I won’t be able to post my report here. By betting on this market, you implicitly agree to trust me with the resolution and not to create shenanigans.

Feel free to ask questions, I’ll answer them and provide regular updates if asked.

(That’s the same internship as mentioned on this market : )

@traders another market you may like. Might as well create it before prices blow up and I have to sell a kidney everytime I wan’a maje a market

Among the people i know, nobody has ever returned from latex back to msword.

I think that makes sense.

But here lots of perturbations could happen. That’d be the first time I make an important document using LaTeX, and my supervisors may want to make corrections to my report and may not be a LaTeX user.

bought Ṁ10 YES

Betting YES more as staking into the suggestion of "you should" than any expectation

@JureSmolar I’ll try. The likeliest alternative would be microsoft word. Making the report in LaTeX is among my goals. However I’m probably the only person at my workplace (trying) to use LaTeX.

@Mich I would say that LaTeX documents, specifically outside of mathematics where they're the default, enjoy a return of status of a weak signal of significant competency, even adjusting for the relative difficulty of using it compared to MS Word (not to mention the profficiency gain from working out an example).
