I wanted to know if there is a way to get syntax highlighting for Pandoc's version of inline footnotes ( ^) rather than how iA Writer does them ( ). Rather, once you see it as the means through which you make some further progress in your thinking and writing, then the manner in which the iPad fits into your workflow take shape.Į.g., I just sent the iA Writer team an email earlier this evening asking about Pandoc style footnotes. I think the takeaway from the other answers is to see the iPad not as the draft-to-submission platform for writing academic papers. My hope is that the devs will commit to a simpler templating system *and* to things like ]. This means that syncing can occasionally be laggy, but I prefer it to the WTF/blackbox version of things. What I like about iaWriter is its simplicity and the fact that the files are in my file system and not in a database. And you could, in theory, write the bulk of your work in LaTeX in iaWriter and then commit to the whole LaTeX incantation. The good news, though, is that LaTeX offers you two note streams, so you can have both footnotes *and* endnotes. (I largely don't do this because LaTeX is too dependent on witchcraft to my mind, but it could be your thing. Then you can use something like `pandoc` which is like `textutil` on steroids and will allow you to round-trip your simple markdown files through LaTeX into PDFs. You can also achieve some of these effects, and even more effectively, if you eventually get comfortable with the command line.

(Check out his website for loads of free markdown goodies that will make your life *that* much better. (It's now Marked 2.) It's a great app with a simpler templating system and Terpstra is a terrific citizen of the markdown/plain text/Mac metaverse. Since you mentioned you aren't too technically savvy, I'd recommend Brett Terpstra's Marked app. It is, to my mind, hella complicated.īut, remember, your files are just markdown files, and you can use other 'viewers' or converters to convert them to HTML/RTF. Could the iaWriter templating system be simpler? Oh, goodness on a stick, yes. So where notes go is really a function of the CSS in the template. Remember that what iaWriter is actually doing is generating HTML from the markdown document(s) you create. This seems really bothersome and inconvenient as a workflow. txt again, and then open it up in IA Writer, and then generate the output PDF. rtf as export format :( ), then perform Zoteros RTF-Scan Function, then convert the. My current 'workaround' is to write citations with ''-brackets, open the file I worked on with Textedit to convert them to.

I got that citation keys are generated to have unique identifiers, and in example.txt of the MLA default template the bibliography seems to be handled this way, but I did not quite figure out how to make this work. The Zotero Documentations lists a few plugins for plain text editors, but to be honest, I am not tech savvy enough to figure out how plugins like the 'Better Than Bibtex' one are supposed to work. Problem is, Zotero only provides Plugins for LibreOffice, Google Docs and Word.

is it possible to combine iA Writer with processing plugins from reference management software like Zotero? I am looking for functionalities like this one for Word, where you use a keyboard shortcut to put in certain references in the text.Is there any way to make footnotes appear at the end of a page instead of the end of the document? (strictly speaking, aren't notes appearing at the end of the document called endnotes anyway?).I want to fully work with iA writer for my academic writing, but there are two things which I could not figure out quite yet. After using Notion for a while, I decided to try out iA Writer as they both have a similar minimalistic aesthetic and both support keyboard-only working.
