Limitations in using Obsidian/markdown for academic writing

  Discontinued Pandoc-Suite for Academic Writing in Markdown

This can be made smoother using Automator applets or something like this Alfred workflow: https://chris-grieser.de/pandoc_alfred

• marktext

  73 44,592 4.9 JavaScript

  📝A simple and elegant markdown editor, available for Linux, macOS and Windows.

  

I used Typora for months and now switched to its free, open sources lookalike, MarkText. I don't see how a markdown editor (without plugins) would be better than Obsidian, or Word? You would still need Pandoc. If I am not mistaken, Zettlr doesn't do live rendering.

• rticles

  2 1,440 7.9 TeX

  LaTeX Journal Article Templates for R Markdown

  

Previously Word + Mendeley. Now RMarkdown, because most of the analysis is in R. If it's join paper, it will be in Word though. The good thing about RMarkdown, is that there is a package rticles, https://github.com/rstudio/rticles. This takes care of the formatting. And you can take care of Citation and References inside RMarkdown itself.

• obsidian-zotero-integration

  Insert and import citations, bibliographies, notes, and PDF annotations from Zotero into Obsidian.

I suppose this is Obsidian Zotero Integration It's brilliant, although I haven't yet found a way to link citations with bibliography -- ie adding/deleting citation doesn't seem to create/update the bibliography automatically. But it's promising. Thanks for the tip.
