I could likely use markdown, and convert to latex. however the problem probably starts when you actually need to tweak this thing. Pandoc allows tweaks to be made, but things like some polish specific conventions for example? whaaaat? I am not sure how to do things like that when using markdown as source.

I do all my writing in latex with gedit. The main reason is that I can easily make documents that look normal to sighted people. There is a tool to convert latex to pdf so when I email someone an article I have written, I usually send them a pdf. Gedit has a plugin for latex but I don't use it much.

What would you use to write documents like theses?Although you could use Markdown, LaTeX offers more control over presentation. I have written in both. For writing papers, though, I usually find that I need features that Pandoc Markdown doesn't offer, so I just write it in LaTeX instead. My work does not involve mathematics. I think the idea that LaTeX is primarily intended for mathematical writing is a misconception. I tend to use Markdown for simpler documents such as slide presentations. Of course, you can use whatever editing environment you prefer. Emacs works well in a terminal or console. For use with Orca, I'm not sure what would be best - perhaps gedit? I haven't had much experience with it. The better editing environments automatically check the markup for errors, and provide keyboard commands to insert it automatically (e.g., to add a section, to create a list or table, etc.). Are there any good editors, accessible with Orca, that support HTML, LaTeX, Markdown, etc. beyond basic text editing capabilities? That is, besides running Emacs or Vim in a terminal. _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html_______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html
