To make it clear to people who don't know LaTeX, I've added a screenshot of the
editor showing the code alongside the pdf; you switch between them with the
right mouse button because markup code can't be wysiwyg.

In LaTeX, everything except plain text body has to be marked up in one way or
another. In LO, italic can be a character style or direct formatting; and if it
isn't you who typed the document you can't know how it was done, without
clicking on each instance.

Also, the styles for un-numbered headers are not obvious in LO if you don't
recognise the character size. Different paragraph styles (including default)
may look the same.
