Hey am truly not very well versed in these things but I recently adopted a similar workflow for my university work since I hate writing in Word.
TEXSHOP BIBTEX HOW TO
I can just say that it works fine once you figure out how to debug odd-looking lines and the like and save templates for papers, letters, and books for later reuse. The pure LaTeX/BibTeX approach requires you lean yet another toolchain, and it's probably not going to be for everybody. bib BibTeX format originated, by the way. bib file from BibDesk then serves as a bibliography input file to the LaTeX-to-PDF converter: it provides all available data, and the LaTeX-to-PDF pipeline takes whatever it needs for the style I want. I use my old LaTeX templates to configure documents to look the way I want, be it MLA, APA or whatever-AuthorYear-style. Bookends auto-outputs temporary citations in the format in LaTeX, and that's it. As I understand, the desirability of such a # format is so that the citation becomes its own searchable key in the ZK (?). Right now I'm unclear on the necessity / usefulness of the / format as used by. One thing I'm struggling with is figuring out the workflow between Bookends and the ZK. I haven't yet figured out a clear way to get these all to talk to each other, but I'm slowly piecing things together. Comments on this proposed workflow welcome.) (I'm trying to avoid what I see as the unnecessary step of learning LaTeX tools only to write prose. My ideal workflow: Bookends pdf annotations on iOS - TA buffer + zettel - draft in Ulysses - final edit in Word + implement bibliography and formatted in-text citations. For the past while I've been researching trying to determine the best tools to use (Mac) and, since I am a long-time Ulysses user, have settled on Bookends for reference management and The Archive (which is awesome) for my ZK. I found my way here via a series of links (I feel there's a joke here somewhere). I am a writer and prospective PhD student (literature) and stumbled upon the idea of the ZK through DEVONThink. First, a thank you to the creators of this forum! I've learned a lot over the past few weeks here.
