I learned, that I should use pandoc to convert my. You have just confirmed that I am on the right track. Over the last two days I invested a lot of time and played with pandoc, LaTeX, Bbedit and The Archive. Sorry that my original post was kind of unclear. In fact, you answered all my questions :-) But once you get the hang of it it works pretty well for converting files into various you very much for your feedback and for the time you spend on writing such a long comment. Pandoc is a command line tool and requires you climb a learning curve. The Archive's feature set is fantastic for notetaking and I've found that I can just pull my various zettles into scrivener when I'm writing something long form and have a decent first draft of my paper done. Plain text source files, basic markdown syntax for headings and subheadings, bold and italics, links, and the citeproc referencing system, I have everything that I need to manage my research and writing. “Sociological Miniaturism: Seeing the Big Through the Small in Social Psychology.” Annual Review of Sociology 27:387–413. Stolte, John F., Gary Alan Fine, and Karen S. (Essentially, every bibliographic reference has a citekey such as [ When converting a markdown file into pdf or docx, pandoc will convert the reference in text to (Stolte, Fine, and Cook 2001) and add a bibliographic entry at the end of the file as. I keep references in a bibtex file (which gets created by zotero) and use pandoc's citeproc routine to include references in my notes. It has a serviceable word template for files that get converted into docx. By default, pandoc converts markdown into LaTeX to generate pdf files. (I have a bunch of notes from my graduate school days stored in a Microsoft Word format that is no longer readable I don't want to deal with that problem ever again).Īnything I write that needs to be shared will be piped through pandoc into pdf or docx. This way my source files should be readable for the foreseeable future. Sometimes I generate them in Scrivener (which requires an export, but that's beyond the scope of this post). Sometimes I generate these texts in the Archive. That is, my source files are all plain text. I try to write everything in pandoc flavored markdown (essentially the same syntax as multi markdown). But in case it's useful, I offer an account of how I manage my writing using multi markdown, pandoc, the archive, etc. I'm not sure I completely followed your question. Thank you very much for any help you can offer. would someone be willing to give a high level description of his/her workflow? (c) Maybe my thinking or expectation is wrong. (b) Is there a recommended minimum set of markdown features that I should use? There are even more "markdown features" that do not work. Conversion to DOCX seems to be very limited (if I am not doing things wrong). It does not support everything which I can do in Typora. But if Typora would be gone, how could I convert my files? I use Typora which offers a lot of formatting, even mathematical formula. (a) Which "processor" should I use in order to be independent of program-specific features? My questions: I am totally confused how to best process my (Multi)Markdown files to PDF and DOCX. I would need some things like insert pictures tables some simple mathematical formulas (for statistics) etc. This means: writing more papers / homeworks. I do a lot of writing - mainly job-specific topics that do not require a lot of text formatting - BUT - I will start to study German Linguistic soon. I have some experience in using a Zettelkasten, so my questions are more related to the second objective. I use The Archive as my Zettelkasten (I have a large number of Zettels which I imported from ScribblePapers, which I created during years in my job). I have two objectives in using The Archive: I am just diving into the Markdown language, because I have seen my AmiPro or Word Files fade away :-) I love the topic of knowledge management and have some years of experience already (I studied Mathematics and an MBA man years ago). I followed this forum for some weeks now, after I started to use The Archive.
