How to write LaTeX without writing LaTeX

pandoc is great.

for emacs users, org-mode is another, even greater option in the long quest to treat tex like an intermediate representation.

(for everyone else: org is to latex like markdown is to html)

Does org-mode handle mathematical notation and citations? From what I've seen, it was more of a note-taking / calendar / journaling type of format.

org-babel allows polyglot programming, and then org-latex export.

Oh, and you've got magit[1] as a smarter git front-end to manage versioning.

I use zotero[2] for all of the bibtex management.

you can inline any latex, more or less: https://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-fragments.html

You can rapidly toggle display with something like https://github.com/io12/org-fragtog , which is a convenience method on top.

Yes, there is org-cite that handles reference very well (and reads your bib file) and it can inline-render pretty much any math (using a latex backend).

The main reason I switched to emacs was inline rendering of latex, which just isn’t possible in vim.
