I loved LaTex! Here is the link to my document: https://www.overleaf.com/read/qfphpsbddkbj

Really cool but also felt a little weird to work in this format, which is something I’ve never done before. Hopefully I’ll have some time later to fiddle around with LaTex more and get a better understanding of what it’s capable of!

I had such a good time with this one!

I wanted to try out this platform to see if it’s something my students could use to layout their research papers (first year scholarly communications course). I’m someone who has experience with layout and graphic design (Adobe Creative Suite), but I didn’t feel like this was intuitive to me at all! I’m definitely looking forward to digging in more when I have some time.

And I did another one to try out using a template for a journal (as a potential aspect of my open pedagogy assignment:

It took me a while to get the hang of the syntax, but I republished an old article from my blog…

I can certainly see the appeal of Overleaf, especially for writing scientific papers. I’m more familiar with Markdown, so I had to adjust this piece (originally published 2019) so dollar signs and hyperlinks would format properly. Using Overlead is something I’m going to recommend to students since the output is so nice.
Similar to Erik’s comment above, I’ve worked with markdown and I found the syntax different but the concepts similar to get the hang of.
My in progress test is here:
