Notes

This project was created as part of a high school history assignment.

I put this project together because I don’t trust companies like Google or Microsoft, and I also think the DOCX format is unsuitable for academic papers.

I’m not stupid; I just wanted to avoid a few extra mouse clicks. (Like selecting styles in Word.)

Anyway, I’d like to thank my history lecturer for setting this project. (My history grades are poor.)
