May 2026 be the year we can finally use some #Markdown for our posts on #Mastodon. 9 years since it was first discussed [1], never really rejected nor endorsed by @MastodonEngineering – It is about time to finally add it now. Boost if you agree ;)

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

If you have questions, please do ask!

Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer

Die @joplinapp@mastodon.social nutze ich in Verbindung mit #Nextcloud schon einige Jahre. Sie ist zu meinem wichtigsten Arbeitsmittel geworden.

Aber erst vor Kurzem habe ich festgestellt, wie genial der dazugeörige #WebClipper ist, um Inhalte aus Webseiten in #Markdown zu speichern:

Joplin Web Clipper – Holen Sie sich diese Erweiterung für 🦊 Firefox (de)

Laden Sie Joplin Web Clipper für Firefox herunter. Capture and save web pages and screenshots from your browser to Joplin. The Joplin application is required to get this extension working - https://joplinapp.org

I guess it would be relatively easy to write a #markdown to LaTeX converter

There are also LaTeX plugins for #obsidian for equations and mermaid.js.org support for diagrams.

As my findings in my #GeneticProgramming research are becoming more and more thorough, I have started to document them. The main problem in my runs is still lack of diversity.

PS: It could be nice if we could write papers in some dialect of #markdown

PS2: These writings are for myself to remember where am I and where I'm going. No academic paper yet :)

I've been working on a thing for a few weeks, and I'm hoping there are #Language / #FileFormat / #Markdown nerds and experts on Mastodon who can provide some input and sanity-check.

I looked for an existing markdown extension file format that would allow me to write a document in multiple languages, and I couldn't find anything that fit the bill.

So, I decided to create my own. 🤷‍♂️
