Notes, discussions, links, feedback:
- Presentation org notes formated for org-present: https://gitlab.com/sunoc/emacsconf-2024-presentation
- Thank you for this! I am using org to export my CV, and had to figure out a few of these things. Lots of new bits for me to explore.
- Thanks, good presentation.
- Those exports look awesome
- I wonder how much LaTeX experience is wrapped up in that export process
- The problem-solving aspect of tinkering with Emacs is a boon.
- The reference management that Vincent demo'd comes from org integration. You wouldn't have that functionality with bare LaTeX/Typst, etc.
- Org to typst converstion: https://github.com/jmpunkt/ox-typst
- One way I've seen to go about headers is having a template file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qHloGTT8XE That you can import with a "#+SETUPFILE:" line
- Maybe down the line we can make ties with LLMs to translate styles better.

Questions and answers go here:
- Q: I'd be interested how to start this journey of writing academic papers in Org-Roam when not having used Emacs Org-Mode yet? Thanks!
- Q:How about connecting Emacs Org-Roam to Zotero? Is that something you have experience with?
- A: You could export your bibliography from Zotero to bibtex.
- Tip: check out the Better Bibtex plugin and its handly "Keep updated" option - I do this selecting biblio.bib file in roam folder as target
- Q:Out of curiosity, how do you manage your bibliography? Do you do it from inside Emacs, or using a separate program like Zotero? Because personally, I have struggled to do it from Emacs, although I have wanted to for sometime. I see, then I am just lazy and don't want to do it by hand -_-
- Q: How do you start a new document? There are a lot of headers you have to setup! Do you use a template? I'm curious if they use yasnippets to deal with all of those latex/org meta commands? (IRC: gringo)
- A: At present, not using snippets (but considering). Currently re-uses previous doc as template. There's reconciling template received from the journal/publisher.
- Q: What do you think of using citar with org-roam-bibtex? It seems that bibtex-completion is tied to org-roam-bibtex.
- A: Has not explored citar. I am pretty sure org-roam-bibtex works with citar.
- Q: Most academic journals insist that papers are formatted in their own custom LaTeX documentclass. Does org-roam make it easy to do that? (jmd)
- A: No. Makes a custom org latex class, to the import the cls; then putting the template provided in the headers of the document, or as needed in the body block. Then there's manual adaption. When using LaTeX, you care much about the output of the document; each domain/field of research has its own flavour of expectations.
- Q: Are you using zotra (https://github.com/mpedramfar/zotra) or org-ref ?
- Q: How much of this is tied to org-roam specifically?
- Q: how do you convince your coauthors to use emacs?
