Which one I use depends on how complex the document I am creating is, as only the report and book classes provide for chapters. (This zine is made in the book class.) + +Some time ago, I wanted to stretch my zine-making muscles and made a hand-written zine called \textit{Do it in the Terminal} all about using the command line. I intended it to be a quick and mostly painless introduction to using the command line for people interested in Linux or just getting started with it.\footnote{You can find out more about it at \kref{https://just13.click/diitt/}{https://just13.click/diitt/}.} + +For some time, I've wanted to do a follow-up to that zine, because it was fun.

So I decided to take the plunge and make it in \LaTeX{} and also try out the memoir class. + +Just like \LaTeX{}, there is a learning curve to this class. But just as with \LaTeX{} you are richly rewarded for climbing that curve. It does a lot of things that the other classes require packages for.
