<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX">LaTeX</a> is a document markup language (think something like HTML) that is widely used in academia.<a href="#fn1" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref1"><sup>1</sup></a> Its primary advantages over Word (and word processors) are the separation of content and presentation and its formatting of mathematical equations.

<h2>Writing LaTeX</h2>
<ul>
<li>Use an online service such as <a href="https://www.overleaf.com/">Overleaf</a> or <a href="https://www.sharelatex.com/">ShareTeX</a>. These are great for collaboration, but become inflexible when you want to customize your workflow.</li>
<li>Write it with a specialized editor such as <a href="http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/">TeXmaker</a>, <a href="http://www.texstudio.org/">TeXStudio</a>, or <a href="http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/">TeXshop</a>. These generally have built ways to insert text, and also live preview. I would stay away from editors such as <a href="https://www.lyx.org/">LyX</a> that are WYSWYG.</li>
<li>Write it with an general purpose editor such as <a href="https://atom.io/">Atom</a> or <a href="https://www.sublimetext.com/">Sublime Text</a>.<a href="#fn2" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref2"><sup>2</sup></a> Most editors have a plugin to make writing LaTeX easier.

<div id="latex-with-r" class="section level2">
<h2>LaTeX with R</h2>
<p>This is pretty easy. Rnw, also called Sweave, documents allow you to mix R chunks with LaTeX. This is similar to R markdown, but with LaTeX instead of markdown.<a href="#fn3" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref3"><sup>3</sup></a> <a href="http://yihui.name/knitr/">knitr</a>.</p>
<p>Many packages, such as xtable](<a href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=xtable" class="uri">https://cran.r-project.org/package=xtable</a>), <a href="ttps://cran.r-project.org/package=stargazer">stargazer</a>, or <a href="ttps://cran.r-project.org/package=texreg">texreg</a> produce formatted output in LaTeX. When you use these programs, do not copy and paste the output. Instead, save it to a file, and use <code>\input{}</code> to include the contents in your document.</p>

<h2>My workflow</h2>
<p>At the moment, I use emacs with <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/">AucTeX</a> for writing pure LaTeX documents. However, I’ve started using Atom more and more as a general text editor. I use RStudio for writing Rnw files. For papers, I haven’t moved to using (R) markdown and pandoc yet, because I find the layout and reference support still too limiting; I end up writing enough LaTeX that I figure I might as well write the whole thing in LaTeX. I’ve been using Overleaf for coauthoring in a couple of cases. I often build my document using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software)">Makefiles</a>. For smaller papers, I’ll use Rnw files with knitr, but for larger projects, I’ll separate the R code into scripts and include the output into</p>
