![]() I was in my element - coffee, historical theology, technology, and a view. For example, I used it to write an article on the Gallican Confession of 1559 and Jean Morély’s ecclesiology while in a public library coffee cafe in Kampen, The Netherlands, sitting in front of a window overlooking the River Ijssel. TexPad works surprisingly well–much better than I expected given the beastly size of a full *tex installation on non-mobile operating systems. Other options for an iOS LaTeX editor in the App Store are the $9.99 TexWriter and the free VerbTex. It was the most expensive option, which led me to believe it would be the most robust, and indeed I believe it is. And it isn’t.Ī couple of apps for Latex on iOS are listed in the App Store, but I settled on the $14.99 TexPad app. ![]() I was fairly certain that there was probably an EndNote or Zotero plugin, which there is and isn’t, but I never even considered that LaTeX would be an option. So as I approached the iPad Pro with the aim of research and writing, I suspected that I would have to move to yet another new platform if I were to actually use it as an MacBook Pro replacement. I have used BibTex in conjunction with pdfLaTeX for most of my writing, including my dissertation work, but only because I hate word processors, love the beautiful type-setting of LaTex2e, and actually enjoy the mark-up side of using it. I moved on to other resources that really only accomplished the citation management function that I learned to appreciate in Ibidem: EndNote, BookEnds, Sente, Zotero, BibTex, in that order. EndNote probably took most of their niche. That suite to tools has since been updated but fell out of use by me and I suspect by a great many others as well as it neglected to keep pace with the industry. ![]() When the Note Bene suite of tools for academic writing first crossed my workflow back in 2006 or so, I was stunned that there was a resource that not only provided a word processor that allowed me to (thankfully) move off of MS Word, but managed and formatted my citations (Ibidem), and-now this really astounded me-offered a customizable database (Orbis) in which all my research articles and primary texts could be deposited and searched.
