+NOTE Introduction
+
+00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.799
+Okay. Hi, everyone. My name is Vincent. I'm a PhD student in
+
+00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:07.439
+Nanzan University, Japan. Today I'm going to present to
+
+00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.799
+you how I'm using Org notes and Org Roam to write academic
+
+00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.999
+papers. The slides I'm going to present here are available
+
+00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.305
+in the Git repository, so you can check them later
+
+00:00:17.306 --> 00:00:20.129
+if you want to.
+
+NOTE What?
+
+00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.910
+Firstly what are we talking about here?
+
+00:00:21.911 --> 00:00:26.692
+So in general, it's possible, if you have any Org nodes,
+
+00:00:26.693 --> 00:00:31.315
+to export them as LaTeX. Given some extra configuration,
+
+00:00:31.316 --> 00:00:34.956
+it's possible, basically, to reproduce any LaTeX setup
+
+00:00:34.957 --> 00:00:42.031
+that you would use to create documents with an Org file.
+
+00:00:42.032 --> 00:00:46.753
+In my case, I'm using that system to take some notes
+
+00:00:46.754 --> 00:00:48.453
+that I have in my org-roam system
+
+00:00:48.454 --> 00:00:52.239
+and to export that into finished academic papers
+
+00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.279
+that you can submit eventually to a conference and so on.
+
+00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.439
+Actually, before I submit that proposal, after I submit
+
+00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:03.559
+that proposal, I just noticed that Mike Hamrick in last
+
+00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.879
+year's EmacsConf made a very extensive presentation about
+
+00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:13.039
+org export. But in here, I just want to showcase my usage of
+
+00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.959
+org-roam and to present what are the configuration I'm
+
+00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:21.376
+using to be able to achieve that. Why do that?
+
+NOTE Why?
+
+00:01:21.377 --> 00:01:23.037
+In general, like I said, I'm using that
+
+00:01:23.038 --> 00:01:26.639
+as part of my writing system, so in
+
+00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.239
+having org-roam notes that can be exported as a document
+
+00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:34.159
+make for a great workflow in my opinion. It makes Org even
+
+00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:38.839
+more versatile, so if you use that for maybe writing code in
+
+00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.599
+the literate programming, now you're going to be also able
+
+00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:47.559
+to export that into any format you want.
+
+00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.879
+The Org notes are very clean. In my opinion, it looks
+
+00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:53.799
+better to work in Org rather than editing LaTeX code
+
+00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:58.959
+directly. The centralized bibliography system is also
+
+00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:02.559
+great because it allows to have just a few notes that you can
+
+00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.599
+reference everywhere and have links to them. Of course
+
+00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:09.479
+everything is happening inside of Emacs so you have access
+
+00:02:09.480 --> 00:02:13.359
+to all the tools you are used to like Magit or Projectile and
+
+00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.214
+whatnot.
+
+NOTE Challenges
+
+00:02:16.215 --> 00:02:18.599
+However, to quote one of the funniest recent
+
+00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:22.999
+video about Emacs: "[With LaTeX,] I used to spend hours trying to
+
+00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.599
+get the image on the right page. Now I use Org Mode LaTeX and
+
+00:02:25.600 --> 00:02:28.759
+just accept it's impossible." Like all the jokes in that
+
+00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:32.799
+video, it lands in very well because there is some truth to
+
+00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.239
+that in that with that system you are not getting rid of
+
+00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.239
+the complexity of LaTeX, so if you have problems, you're going to
+
+00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:45.959
+have to deal with the very long logs. It's a layer on top of
+
+00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.519
+LaTeX, so if you need to debug your configuration, if you
+
+00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.999
+want to adjust something specific, you would need to be
+
+00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.879
+proficient in LaTeX and also in being very at ease with
+
+00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:03.119
+your Emacs configuration. The way to use the Org export is
+
+00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.639
+less documented than using LaTeX so if you want to implement
+
+00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:09.959
+something, probably it's going to be described in pure LaTeX,
+
+00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.599
+and then you're going to need to adjust that to make it work
+
+00:03:13.600 --> 00:03:17.679
+inside your Org files. I explained before that the
+
+00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.959
+bibliography system is great, although it's very picky
+
+00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:26.359
+on the way it works, especially to be exported. Depending
+
+00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.239
+on the template you are using, you might run into issues
+
+00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:33.199
+with some packages that are in conflict, so there is
+
+00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:35.319
+that to be taken in mind.
+
+NOTE Basic Org to PDF
+
+00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:41.519
+In general, if you have a Org note, you can simply export it
+
+00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:46.199
+with a C-c C-e and l o with the menu that appears. I can
+
+00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:49.479
+show that briefly: C-e, then you have the menu. You can select
+
+00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:53.519
+l and o to export. That works very well. In general,
+
+00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.959
+with that, you are able to deal with everything that you have
+
+00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.959
+in your normal Org notes. If you have images, tables,
+
+00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:03.559
+links, it's going to be exported in a way that looks decent.
+
+00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.060
+That's what we are starting with.
+
+NOTE How to LaTeX properly, though?
+
+00:04:08.061 --> 00:04:11.543
+However, if you want to make a publication,
+
+00:04:11.544 --> 00:04:13.479
+if you have a template that you receive
+
+00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:17.479
+from a conference or whatnot, you want to be able to adapt
+
+00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.519
+your Org notes to be able to export it exactly the way you
+
+00:04:20.520 --> 00:04:23.039
+want. I'm going to present the four points that I'm
+
+00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.919
+showing here that are, for me, the elements that you need to
+
+00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.879
+be careful with when you try to work with templates and
+
+00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:32.303
+exporting to LaTeX.
+
+NOTE LaTeX-specific headers
+
+00:04:32.304 --> 00:04:34.525
+Firstly, you have headers. So basically,
+
+00:04:34.526 --> 00:04:37.119
+this allows to add LaTeX elements that are going
+
+00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.559
+to be at the top of the file. You're going to have the title.
+
+00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.119
+You're going to have your extra packages here. You're going
+
+00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.959
+to have your class. I'm going to present that later. That's
+
+00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:50.479
+the part that you're going to adjust to make it look like the
+
+00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.624
+.tex template that you receive.
+
+NOTE Using a formatting class file
+
+00:04:54.625 --> 00:04:58.625
+Then you have the formatting class file. That's a .cls file
+
+00:04:58.626 --> 00:05:01.786
+that you would receive as a part of the template.
+
+00:05:01.787 --> 00:05:08.147
+This one is used instead of the typical doc class like article.
+
+00:05:08.148 --> 00:05:10.588
+The way I'm using them is to add an entry,
+
+00:05:10.589 --> 00:05:12.759
+like add an element to the list or get a
+
+00:05:12.760 --> 00:05:18.599
+class in my Emacs init. This way I can use the CLS file
+
+00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.719
+directly and also give the parameters that I want. In that
+
+00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.402
+case, I'm going to have a apris.cls next to my Org note,
+
+00:05:26.403 --> 00:05:31.394
+and it's going to be able to to use it.
+
+NOTE Using a different LaTeX command
+
+00:05:31.395 --> 00:05:33.599
+A third element is, in some cases,
+
+00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.359
+you might want to use a different LaTeX compiler to build
+
+00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.719
+your project, to build your notes. That can be done per
+
+00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.319
+file, per note, in my opinion, that's the most flexible way,
+
+00:05:45.320 --> 00:05:48.519
+by editing, by adding this line as the very first line of your
+
+00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:52.599
+file and thus changing the LaTeX PDF process variable. And
+
+00:05:52.600 --> 00:06:00.461
+in there, you can put multiple commands in a row.
+
+00:06:00.462 --> 00:06:01.959
+For example you can have the shell
+
+00:06:01.960 --> 00:06:06.079
+escape to have the minted note block, the BibTeX element, so
+
+00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.959
+that works very well. When you add that, you need to
+
+00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:13.137
+reload your file, though. Something to keep in mind.
+
+NOTE References links for bibliography
+
+00:06:13.138 --> 00:06:16.999
+Lastly, you have the bibliography. When you have a reference,
+
+00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.879
+when you want to put a reference, you can use the
+
+00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:23.719
+org-roam-bibtex package that needs to be installed. Then you
+
+00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.759
+have some configuration to to be set so you have the bibtex
+
+00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:31.199
+compilation bibliography, where you explain where is your
+
+00:06:31.200 --> 00:06:35.959
+your reference file, your bib file. You can also give a path
+
+00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:40.079
+for where to search for PDFs. If you have matching names
+
+00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:44.039
+with your BibTeX entries and some PDF files in there,
+
+00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.479
+they're going to be linked. I'm going to show that later. So
+
+00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.199
+that's something that's going to be part of your init
+
+00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:53.039
+configuration as part of the org-roam-bibtex package
+
+00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.479
+configuration. Then in the node you are exporting, you want
+
+00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:01.319
+to add a section called reference. Here you can set a style
+
+00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:06.479
+for the bibliography. Again you put which of the
+
+00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.719
+reference file you want to use.
+
+NOTE Examples
+
+00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.559
+With all of that, I'm going to show some examples. Here I
+
+00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:21.759
+have an Org note that I used as the file to be exported into a
+
+00:07:21.760 --> 00:07:26.719
+publication. You can see up front, I set all my headers
+
+00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.519
+package. I have some extra package I put. I have the class
+
+00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:35.839
+that is something that is next to it. You can see in the
+
+00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:41.239
+files, I have the apris.cls just here.
+
+NOTE Tags
+
+00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:47.119
+Also, with all of that, you can also add tags. I
+
+00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.399
+didn't explain that, but you can also ignore some
+
+00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:52.719
+sections. That's quite convenient as well. Here we
+
+00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:57.359
+have some section, and if you want to add a bibliography,
+
+00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:04.999
+you're going to do c l cite:, you can put some cite entry, put
+
+00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.199
+any file in there, no description, and you're going to put
+
+00:08:08.200 --> 00:08:11.919
+some link like that. It's very convenient because, firstly,
+
+00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.519
+it's going to be exported as a reference like I'm going to
+
+00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:18.079
+show later, but also it gives you access to it directly from
+
+00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:22.679
+the note. If I click the thing here, I have some menu, I can
+
+00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:31.039
+open the bibliography page.
+
+00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.799
+I can also open the PDF that was linked to it. If I do
+
+00:08:34.800 --> 00:08:38.919
+that, here is the file that pops up that was linked to the
+
+00:08:38.920 --> 00:08:44.959
+bibliography. That's great. Otherwise, within
+
+00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.759
+that document, you're going to have other things you can
+
+00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:53.279
+have. Figures with parameters set on top, footnotes as well if
+
+00:08:53.280 --> 00:08:57.279
+that's something that you need. For example, here it's a
+
+00:08:57.280 --> 00:09:00.959
+section that's not exported, but you can have your
+
+00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.079
+normal footnotes. We can go back and forth. If they are in
+
+00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.759
+the exported section, they're going to be
+
+00:09:07.760 --> 00:09:11.919
+managed. So with that, you can export the notes. You're going to
+
+00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:16.879
+C-c C-e so you have that menu for exporting
+
+00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:23.479
+Org files. You do l for LaTeX and then o for running directly as
+
+00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.399
+PDF and opening it. It takes a little while to build. Here we
+
+00:09:27.400 --> 00:09:31.359
+are. The templates have been used, so there is a
+
+00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.879
+two-column situation happening, we have a specific header
+
+00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:41.519
+format and figures and the citation that we put. It's
+
+00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:45.079
+happening, it's shown here, and it's also going to be
+
+00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:49.879
+visible at the end in the reference section. Like I
+
+00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:55.479
+said, a fully ready, finished paper can be
+
+00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:01.119
+produced this way. That's all that I had for today.
+
+00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.199
+Thank you very much for your attention. I am
+
+00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.232
+available for questions on IRC or in the video chat.
+
+00:10:06.233 --> 00:10:07.400
+Thank you.
