Everything is kept under version control, for reasons stated above. Papers can also add in Pandoc-style citations, which Pandoc can then parse to make an automatic bibliography. My compromise, then, is to export my Papers library to a master BibTex library prior to compiling everything into a single PDF. BibTex libraries are used for keeping track of papers, but I like Papers for organizing more than BibDesk - automatic downloading of PDFs is the best part. What I do here is basically use Sublime Text 3 (ST3) as a word processor. By selectively committing logical blocks, I can also easily selectively revert unwanted commits it's rare, but once in a while it's saved my work.īecause it's plain text, I can export to anywhere with a bit of configuration.īecause it's written publicly, it's great. I'm looking at you, Word, Google Docs and others.īecause I get to write in plain text, I also get to version control the text. By switching over to writing in plain text, I can ignore all distractions by other word processors. I'm writing a white paper on genomic surveillance, so I thought I'd experiment with something new.
I finally got down to doing it! Here's my brief notes on how I set it up it may change a bit later on, as my needs evolve, but it should be enough instructions for others to get setup.
