How are people writing documents/reports? Markdown/Latex in your fav editor and export to PDF? Word? Pages? Libre Office?

I use Markdown, via VSCode, Bear, iA Writer, Marked and then push to PDF. If I have to, then export to DOCX.

    @jilano What's attracting you to R Markdown?

    @platypus It seems to be the best of both worlds, in my opinion.

    Here's a little video that'll explain it way better than I could: https://youtu.be/4J5a0JWIF-0

    Usually I just write plaintext documents and do the markup of it afterwards.. so just vim most of the time. I'd use LaTeX for things like my CV though.

    Mostly Microsoft Word for Windows, because it is Company Policy. And I genuinely hate that crap. I would have preferred some other markup language, but at least I can once in a while get away with ASCII files.
