Do you usually use Markdown for your first draft or do you go straight to LaTeX?
- jszymborski 4y agoWhen I type up my handwritten stream-of-consciousness notes, I indulge that obsessive editing part of my brain so it usually is my final draft before I send it to my supervisor for revision. Because of that I usually go straight to LaTeX (or sometimes LibreOffice Writer). A more productive strategy would be to write up a first draft (Markdown is a great option here so as not to fuss about presentation), go through a round of edits and tightening sentences/paragraphs, then formatting. But honestly I really haven't the patience for it. One step at a time haha I do aspire to become that person, though!
