Using Sublime Text 2, I found it very easy to manage multiple drafts, and reorganise /reorder sections as my ideas changed. And with Marked 2 I could easily export a PDF for anyone outside the plain text workflow world to read and comment on. (PDFs are better for commenting on than Word, IMO: Word is more useful for collaborative writing). And ST2 never crashed once, produced the spinning wheel, or lost any of my work, however large my document became (including images, videos, etc...) :-) On Tue, May 3, 2016, at 11:06 AM, C.H. wrote:
Will it be better to write in something like Markdown and export it to Latex/Word with pandoc? I think it is brutal to write raw latex.
RMarkdown can support citation quite well.
