Thanks :) !

What software are you using? Is this some kind of jellyfin plugin so your users can request movies? 👀

For pdf export, you can just org-export-to-pdf. In the background it translates your doc to a latex file and then compiles that (I know you stated you didn’t lile tex, but in case you can bear a few command this is actually super useful as it gives you more control over the doc, you can just insert random latex part in your doc and it will handle them nicely). Same for publishers. You can just translate your file to tex and that will fit most of the publication processes. Otherwise you can just convert your doc to pretty much anything with pandoc (including .docx).

Keep in mind however that this is basically just saying: I like the idea of latex (fine granularity at compile time, raw text and reproducibility) but I prefer org markup for common marks like headers, bold and refs, and I like having a somewhat pretty editor. If your issue with latex is that writting and formating are not synchronous, than yeah this is not for you.

Depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re deadset on wysiwyg editors, then yeah, onlyoffice is as good as it gets if you want to keep it foss and don’t like libreoffice. Otherwise people seem to like the many scientific markdown editors. But honestly if you already know emacs then just… emacs. I’m in academia too and with the right set of packages it can fit an academic workflow pretty nicely. I write in org mode with org-superstar, olivetti mode to center text in org, varying fonts and font size for headers, citar for references (that syncs with a realtime bibtex export from my zotero library). With the added bonus of having all the usual goodness (magit, projectile, you name it).

It’s spelled the same way but not pronounced the same way. Chat - the animal - is pronounced “sha” and Chat - the dialogue - is pronounced the english way (tchat). It’s been used to refer to internet chat rooms since the 90s, the same way that a lot of english linguo is commonly used here to refer to web-related concepts

Edit: the GPT part however, is indeed very funny
