In a comment on my post Why I Use Emacs, which was mostly a hat tip to Don Knuth’s observation about enjoying your tools, Nick Higham points us to his post on the same quote. Higham is a mathematician whose excellent post on LaTeX tips for n00bs I’ve mentioned before.
Higham’s post is about workflow and in it he points to an article he wrote about research paper workflow. Although targeted at mathematicians, any researcher using LaTeX will find the article useful and informative. If you produce reports or articles with LaTeX, you should definitely give the article a look.
Although I don’t spend a lot of time with LaTeX these days, Higham’s workflow is similar to mine in that he does everything he can from within Emacs. Even his blog, like mine, is produced with org2blog. Higham, like John Kitchin, is proof that Emacs is useful far beyond the realm of software engineering.
