Re: [PLUG] Is there a better alternative LATEX?

I looked at asciidoctor and decided that it is better than the pandoc/markdown/latex frankenstien, except for one thing, there is an established issue in asciidoctor-pdf that it can't do what wrap-figure does (when it works), which is due to a limitation in the upstream ruby module, the accepted workaround is to convert to docbook and then to pdf.
I wasn't game for looking at yet another document generation system and its faults, gave up and went to Libre-Office Writer. Inferior from a document management standpoint, but mostly better at formatting, and at least with WSIWYG one generally sees the formatting problems while working.

The big one frustrating me is wrapfigure, I'm trying to include a lot
of shots from the movie, after

\end{wrapfigure}    the margins are permanently displaced . To have
the smaller images take up a whole line is ugly.

I've never used wrapfigure, but the symptom you describe above is
probably easily fixed. Maybe an extra set of braces around the
\begin{wrapfigure} and the \end{wrapfigure}. Or perhaps make a new
LaTeX command, based on wrapfigure, that saves the current margins
before \begin{wrapfigure}, and restores them after \end{wrapfigure}
