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.
