-==== Josiah's Paper Writing Workflow ==== 
- 
-=== Preamble === 
- 
-Workflows are personal.  The two factors that most strongly shape my 
-own workflow is that my editor of choice is emacs and that I do not 
-work in large collaborations.  (It doesn't hurt that I like to 
-tinker.)  
-The emacs learning curve can be quite steep, but because I do so many 
-different things in it, small increases in proficieny have a magnified 
-impact.  Also, I tend to be easily distracted, so the fewer times I 
-switch between apps, the better. 
-Instead of desribing things in gory detail, I just tried to give a 
-general overview.  If you have specific questions, or want to see 
-something in action, swing by my cube, D-343.  I'm usually happy to 
-talk about such things. 
- 
-=== Write an Outline === 
- 
-The first thing I do is write an outline using [org-mode].  This is a a 
-plain text draft of the paper, though I do write the equations using 
-TeX.  Once things are reasonably converged, I export my org-mode file 
-to TeX, using built-in exporter.  This converts my outline headings 
-into LaTeX sections, among other nifty things.

- 
- 
-=== Use Version Control === 
- 
-I start a git repository with the rough draft TeX file from the 
-previous step.  When I send a draft to a co-author, I make a branch 
-for him/her, incoportate the comments when I get them back, and then 
-merge this back into my master branch.   
- 
-=== TeX Editing in emacs === 
- 
-I use [AUCTeX] which the default emacs TeX editing mode.  It has all 
-sorts of goodies: easy math-mode editing, cross reference support, 
-commands for creating environments, etc. 
- 
-[AUCTeX]: http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ 
- 
- 
-=== BibTeX === 
- 
-I do not have a solution I'm completely happy with here.  I tend to 
-make an ADS private library for each paper and then export to BibTeX 
-occasionally.  I've played with both BibDesk and Papers and not been 
-all that happy with either (though I do like Papers for 
-reading/emailing).
