essentially, yes
just doing it a lot

you don't learn latex. you just start typing stuff and google what you need to know.

This. Like all software. Though I would say that this IS learning, it's just different than other types of learning.

use markdown instead

With pandoc? How do you get it to output APA?

fiddled with

Read the not so short book on LaTeX. You can get pretty far by just googling shit but actually reading a proper text on it will give you a better feel for the macro language and all of the otherwise retarded and bewildering shit will make more sense. For instance, you'll understand why order matters when including packages and what the difference is between all of these macros and environments that seem to do exactly the same thing a lot of the time but suddenly catastrophically break your document for seemingly no reason on rare occasion.

I did not
