Does the Latex documentation have any content that we are missing elsewhere? Otherwise I'm amenable to ditching it. |

Now that the User tutorial is gone, I think it is basically a secondary output format from Doxygen that we can output. |

Installing latex with only the necessary packages from texlive already takes 20+ minutes on an empty docker image. |

In theory, it might be much quicker now, since the needed packages need a significant update after the user tutorial was ported. |

Note that MathJax will require JS on the user-side. There are still people refusing to use it. |

I would also be in favor of ditching LaTeX. LaTeX predates a lot of modern software engineering and the TexLive “solution” of simply including every package under the sun leads to bloated software.
Also, we still have the technical writers on the payroll and can ask them to look into any holes left when we ditch LaTeX

@OpenMS/core What do you think about removing the Latex documentation?
Latex is a HUGE dependency for all the build jobs and at every update, there are at least 2 package incompatibilities.
What advantages does it have, especially now that we translated the Tutorial to Markdown.
