@jeder Because whenever I try using a wysiwyg editor, like libreoffice writer, or msword, what I get is an incomprehensible mess of inconsistent formatting, that ends up being almost 8MiB. And my CV, which I initially wrote back in 2008, and just update ever since, still renders perfectly fine .pdf files that weigh under 40KiB

@jeder I'm not saying I would be able to write it again from scratch. I just copy-paste, essentially, this:
