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. http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/ On Tue, May 3, 2016 at 3:14 PM, Nicolas Jullien <Nicolas.Jullien@telecom-bretagne.eu> wrote:

Hello,

Lyx, which is a wysiwyg editor of Latex. it works pretty well, even if the export of very complex tables works less well.

Dear all,

I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a LaTeX editor? I just started with my dissertation (resp. its writing) and want to try LaTex instead of fighting with Word formatting. Any experience would be helpful especially with regards to "academic work" (citation, footnotes, etc.), because there are a lot of editors out there...

I'd prefer an offline version that has a lively community (resp. whose programmers still work on its improvements). I'm currently working with Citavi (so it should best capable of dealing with the literature list it produces). Also using MaxQda (even though I don't think this will matter with regards to LaTex). And, once in a while, I want to export a chapter for my supervisors (not only a PDF but maybe also a DOC or OpenOffice or something like this, so that they can easily add comments).

Thanks a lot :) Daniel _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org

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:
