Hi John

What sort of suggestions were you after. I do quite a lot of DH in Classics on the programming side, but my thesis (which is not DH-based, but straight classics/ancient history) is fully written in pandoc style markdown. Classics has been using digital tools a lot longer than most other humanities disciplines (witness Perseus), because of its long relationship with philology, linguistics, and use of tools like concordances.

Whenever I strike my fellow postgrads struggling with Word issues, I keep telling people to use markdown to write their thesis in markdown. They freak out. They think it’s difficult, when a thesis document nearly all text and simple to write in markdown. Our systems pretty much train them in undergraduate courses to use Word and never let up from that point.

Scot.
