Zotero + Highlights is an oft-mentioned combination as a competitor, especially depending on your field of study. One best use for my iPad is to read and mark-up (PDF) journal articles. I defer therefore that others here could better comment on the best options for doing LaTeX on the iPad. I do not use my iPad to generate long-format (typed) documents. I presume you are asking about macOS and iOS for LaTeX.įor reference: I have a 16in MBP, have 27in monitors at my work and home locations, touch-type well, and have Kinesis ergonomic keyboards at both locations. I grit my teeth and remind myself it’s still not as bad as when I had to use Quark Express.ĭid you use macOS and iOS? If so, did that work? I’ve bought MS Word subscriptions twice because of a publisher’s work flow the Pages wouldn’t work for productions. Sometimes I have to use MS Word, because of the publisher’s workflow. I then usually draft in Pages using a publisher’s template or style sheet. I construct a formal works cited at this point, and make sure citations / footnotes are properly formatted.įor technical writing, I use the corkboard in Scrivener and placeholders for figures/screen shots to completely outline the book/article/section of a book including sidebars, call-outs, and figures. When I have a completed draft, when I don’t think I’ll add or remove substantial text, I compile and move to Pages where I revise, format, print out hard copy and mark it up, then revise. I dont worry about formatting much, beyond chapters and headings. Citations are at this point a FN with a crude citation IDing the author, work, date and page/sections. pdfs and images, and add notes as I go, I use Scrivener’s annotation tools as I draft. I use the note tools, I import references. My scholarly workflow involve reading a bunch, taking notes on the reading (often by habd, then transcribing) which then evolve into an ur-draft, which may spend time being worked into an outline (if I have to submit a proposal) or worked on in Scrivener’s Corkboard, then as I augment that it becomes a draft in Scrivener. Citations for a humanist a much more straightforward than in some fields we can generally use in text citations, and a Works Cited, with the first reference to a work cited in a footnote. This is, obviously, a non-viable workflow these days. I ended up using HyperCard (via Rosetta) and Apple Script to place a citation on the clipboard which I would then paste into Pages. For my dissertation, I tried using Bookends but back then (2008) it didn’t play well with Pages, which was where I finished the diss, and converted it to.
