Re:Why and How I Wrote My Academic Book in Plain Text

convinced my SO to use plain text editor for academic writings with these points:
no crashes
can edit anywhere. even on a dumb phone.
revision control (i provided two scripts to the right click context menu to pull/push)
and the killer one: output to several standards. iso, abnt, eu-whatever... even automatic html formatting for the blog if a smaller article is not accepted anywhere.
though that happened before markdown et al became popular. so latex it is.
