 Awesome Scientific Writing !Awesome (https://awesome.re/badge-flat.svg) (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
▐ Scientific writing can extend beyond LaTeX, made possible by formats,
▐ such as
▐ Markdown (https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (and its many flavours),
▐ reStructuredText (https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html) and
▐ Jupyter notebooks (https://jupyter.org/).
:bookmark: means ability to seamlessly cite references.
:link: means ability to cross-reference figures and sections within the
document.
