i think I may have seen it these on the list at one point, but it's very helpful to be reminded. 

I do think that the default fonts, etc., are a bit of an acquired taste for humanists; and I've gotten used to using custom styles in html & odt for size & placing of images; but even without following the instructions carefully, export seems to work, which is pretyt amazing! 

Vikas recommends involving pandoc manually, as Erik H. has also suggested to me; I would like to aovid doing that if possible, but if it has to be done i guess I can find some way of automating it.

There are clearly a lot of options in this space; I am still interested in using Zotero if I can, so will continue working with zotxt, but hopefully in a way that gets me closer to other people's usage patterns.

thanks,
Matt

Hello. Interesting thread!
Matt, have you read Vikas guide to writing papers with Org?
https://github.com/vikasrawal/orgpaper
From my point of view, using LaTeX through Org isn't difficult at all.
You'll need to tweak a few things (packages, figures, etc.), but it's
definitely easier for a beginner that starting a LaTeX document from
scratch.
Here's another article about writing LaTeX (social science) papers:
