The Register: LibreOffice learns to speak Markdown in version 26.2. “LibreOffice Writer can open documents in almost any word processor file format, and save back into almost any other. As of late last month, this includes Markdown. Specifically, LibreOffice 26.2 supports the version called CommonMark.”

I think I made a really nice setup for marrying technical #Markdown documentation with academic citations in #LaTeX. It was as simple as writing a little #Python script using a citation library (PybTeX) and then incorporating it into the build process.

Because everything is written in regular files, the editor can autocomplete citation keys without any special tooling - they are just sections in another file. This kind of interoperability is why simple tools like text files and #ssg are so great.

I'm not a fan of hosting it on GitHub anymore, but there are already links in various places that I can't update, so this is the reasonable thing to do.
