M\u00e9ndez<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>With Word, it is very easy to start a paper, but <em>very hard<\/em> to finish when you have to do all the tables and final formatting. With XLingPaper, starting a paper (when you tend to be less stressed) requires some more time and planning, but at the end of the paper, you&#8217;re only fixing content errors and don&#8217;t have to worry about tables, linking, or formatting.<\/strong> Matthew Lee<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The more I use XLingPaper, the more I like it! &#8230; many linguists are advocating LaTeX as a good way to format linguistics papers. But it is very easy to get things wrong in LaTeX and spend lots of time trying to find syntax errors that prevent a document from compiling. XLingPaper gives you the same nice formatting options, but provides a structured environment that makes it much easier to create attractive and well-formatted documents.<\/strong> George Aaron Broadwell<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Thank you so much for this program! It has made formatting hassle-free. No more worrying about example numbering or tabs going out of whack&#8230;<\/strong> Chantel Vanderveen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>I&#8217;m totally hooked on this program now and am very comfortable using it for all of my academic work.<\/strong> Stephen Marlett<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>I really like using XLingPaper. It&#8217;s a much better working space for me than MS Word: I can focus my attention on one section of my paper, and achieve better productivity.<\/strong> Joyce Wood<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>It was very difficult to learn XLingPaper at first, but it really paid off. It saved me so much time because I didn&#8217;t have to worry about formatting anything. I would never try to write a linguistics thesis on Word. XLingPaper formatted my thesis perfectly, and I&#8217;m especially pleased about how easy it is to add example sentences. <\/strong>Deborah Kim<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8230; my writing is better and more principled because of [XLingPaper].<\/strong> Kent Rasmussen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>XLingPaper has been working great, and I&#8217;ve been using it to author (and translate via xml tools) most of what I write.<\/strong> Kent Rasmussen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>[<strong>It] has enabled me to be vastly more productive in writing linguistic papers and in dialoguing with linguistic consultants.<\/strong> Colin Suggett<\/p>\n<p>Also see this post about <a href=\"https:\/\/software.sil.org\/xlingpaper\/445-page-grammar-book-produced-via-xlingpaper-published\/\">how XLingPaper was used to produce the camera-ready PDF of a 400+ page book<\/a> (the publisher provided the first four pages, but XLingPaper was used by the author to produce all the other pages).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some testimonies from users of XLingPaper: XLingPaper has been crucial for my thesis, and the result is a very neat document.
