Hi John,
Nothing to do with the two positions, but have you ever considered a markdown editor? My pipeline is markdown -> pandoc+filters -> latex, so nowadays I only use Overleaf when the papers (or the coauthors) really demands it.
- jdleesmiller 6y agoYou might like to have a look at the markdown package [1], which lets you write markdown in LaTeX documents. In fact, we drafted this job ad in markdown on Overleaf using that package! (That said, there's certainly more we could do to improve the markdown experience on Overleaf.)

- nanna 6y agoSome kind of pandoc-based extra input method would be a brilliant feature for other formats though. I'm an editor for a journal where we currently convert all our docx's into tex via our WordPress admin panel (which pre and post processes them using sed) and then drop them into Overleaf. If it could all be integrated into Overleaf that would be another killer feature.
- jdleesmiller 6y agoThanks, agree! More import options are definitely on our radar. Edit: the latest TeX User Group (TUG) had a good talk about this sort of workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uZJFO54iM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9uZJFO54iM
