How Would I Use Obsidian To Write A Thesis #17
-
caveat: I've never written a thesis and I'm working on a bachelor's at the moment to hope for a master's after. What I might do for a thesis is:
Keeping all of these thesis outline notes in a folder is likely the approach I would have just for a clear separation of concerns while I'm working on them
That is what I would do for outlining using a Zettelkasten to inspire thesis content. |

That's something that I may be able to contribute to. It is just a thought since I am a complete n00b when it comes to Obsidian, but as part of my writing, I've extensive experience with LaTeX, and hence was looking for a way to push the Zettelkasten idea to generate content for my PhD thesis. I've been Scrivener for a while now, and since I'm not only a student myself now, but also take care of some students, I'm mostly annoyed by it being limited to MacOS, paid software, etc. The file format is comparatively open - it's just a UI sitting on top of a bunch of rtf notes that are all held together by one big XML containing all the metadata. What I've already done is to create a script on top of Scrivener - I called it TeXDown - that takes away most of the LaTeX command you'd otherwise use in your day to day work. I know there's markdown approaches already to it, but they were too limited for me, and I wanted more control - and integration with Scrivener actually, at that point in time. Since I'm moving away from Scrivener and am gravitating towards Obsidian, I'm working on three things:
Let me know what you think. It's work in progress, but maybe you already see that there's basically stuff others have done already that can serve as a shortcut. M |
