Longform writing in Logseq

[menelic]

Thanks @Aryan for a great and helpful video, together with your pdf plugin this addresses many of the key functionality @Luhmann mentions in his comprehensive first post. You have covered and implemented two of four:

@Luhmann

• Handle plain text files without any bullet points

• In-text citations, as well as footnotes/endnotes

• Document management that allows one to break up larger writing projects into smaller chunks (“sheets”) and to manipulate those chucks (split, merge, etc.).

• [x partly done through your pdf plugin] Output to standard formats such as PDF or ODT/DOCX.

I think outlining where text sections (eg everything under a specific H1, H2 heading or any block can be moved around and reordered in an interactive TOC is a key functionality esp for actual long-form writing, any hints - or plugins - would be appreciated:

This would also be key for long form writing:

If in addition citation management could be tackled through an implementation of citeproc-js in Logseq

this would truly put Logseq over the top in terms of writing tools, as it would combine key writing functionality with knowledge and task management.

Overall, reducing the number pf plugins needed to achieve long form writing would also be very helpful, as it would make for a more stable experience with longer term feature stability
