Description

Org-mode and more so org-roam are making for a fantastic note-taking system inside Emacs. Combining the note-taking of org-mode, the capability to export a note to LaTeX and PDF directly, the spectacular org-roam-bibtex package and the flexibility of the elisp configuration of Emacs, it become possible to use a org-roam note as the main document for write academic papers, even when exotic templates are provided.

In this presentation, I want to talk about the way I am using org-roam to write LaTeX documents, the benefits of it but also the various pitfalls and difficulties encountered in this journey.

The key benefits being:

  • The integration with other org-roam notes.
  • Bibliography integration and links directly to PDF.
  • Org-mode literate programming capabilities.
  • Direct export to PDF.

The main challenges are:

  • Dealing with strangely formatted LaTeX templates.
  • Related, having to use other LaTeX compilers.
  • These two points can make citation of references, in particular, challenging.

About the speaker:

A PhD student in robotics at Nanzan University, Japan. I have been using Linux for around 10 years at that point, eventually moving many of my work and personal stuff to Emacs over the years, including academic writing.
