       I started writing this book project using zettlr in markdown, because that seemed like the best way to incorporate many citations from a wild variety of journals/books/articles. But I am now having serious problems trying to integrate files.Latex is hard but I know it quite well, I just don't have a latex editor that I like that's reliable (I'm not doing this on overleaf, it's just me, no sharing needed). Recs? Advice? I'm running Ubuntu.

       @sundogplanets@mastodon.social I've had good experiences with Kile (https://kile.sourceforge.io). It's a KDE project but should be installable on any flavor of Ubuntu with sudo apt install kile on the command line or with whatever tool you use to install software. I haven't written book-length things with it, but I have used it for articles and I don't see that it'd falter on longer works. I don't have any experience using Markdown in it, only Latex. I don't know if it can even handle Markdown.

       @sundogplanets Thought I'd mention LyX, a pretty popular and well-maintained cross-platform app. I've used it -- it's nice. And it includes "textclasses for scientific societies, such as AMS, APS, IEEE, or specific journals like Astronomy and Astrophysics"https://www.lyx.org/
