\section{What I Learned About Other Things While Creating This Issue}
\subsection{The Memoir Class}
Since starting my journey with \LaTeX{}, I have consistently used the article, report, or book classes. 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. It was also a lot more work than I thought it would be, and entirely too small to contain all the information I had on hand. 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. Most importantly in terms of this current project\footnote{Which you can get a sneak peak of at \kref{https://mastodon.social/@kjodle/117156928790033156}{https://mastodon.social/@kjodle/11715692879\\0033156}.} is that it handles multiple indices beautifully. I don't know that I will include tutorials about it here, but if I do write any up, I'll put them on my techblog.\footnote{\kref{https://techblog.kjodle.net/}{https://techblog.kjodle.net/}}
