phd_thesis_markdown VS sleek-template

This is the reason I've never liked LaTeX from a data point view. It's made to be printed out or get to look beautiful on a PDF but was never designed to get you to a HTML file or a Word file.

I've written my thesis in Markdown in the past because of this (best for humans) which can be easily transformed to HTML, Word, PDF and even LaTeX https://github.com/tompollard/phd_thesis_markdown

And I think that XML is the best format for machines.

See, for example, this: https://github.com/tompollard/phd_thesis_markdown

Markdown for academic papers. We have this https://github.com/tompollard/phd_thesis_markdown (which is the best template I know and on a personal note I've written my thesis with that too) but the whole ecosystem can be still improved.

See here on how to implement those commands.

[self-promotion warning] If you are looking for a template for notes, I made one during my studies: https://github.com/francois-rozet/sleek-template . I used it for many things: note taking, course summaries, homeworks, reports and even my Master thesis. There is a "tutorial" included to explain what the templates provide.

For instance, the title page of my personal template (https://github.com/francois-rozet/sleek-template) requires in itself ~100 lines. So does the imports (usepackage), without speaking of the listings (code blocks), the theorem boxes, etc.
