Help with quarto environment

[giovevanni]

Description

Hallo, I am new to Quarto and to the markdown environment but not to the world. I have worked with an integrated mesh of software: word (text editing), endnote (reference manager), and grammarly (english editor). I am trying to replicate this ecosystem in Quarto. I understand that CiteDrive is a reference manager that can be integrated with quarto. I have only little experience with R so I am not wedded to RStudio. I work with Stata and I have found that it could be integrated with a plugin for python (nbstata). What would be a combination of apps I could use to recreate the integrated ecosystem of text editor, reference manager, and language editor? Grateful for any help or tips.

Welcome @giovevanni,

Because Quarto and Markdown are plain text, you can use many development stacks.

If you are looking for a integrated environment, RStudio will save you time because it includes many features for Quarto out of the box.

Many users like Visual Studio Code because of the large number of plug-in available. For example, you have [many options of plugin for Zotero}(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?term=zotero&target=VSCode&category=All%20categories&sortBy=Relevance). Reddit has a topic about the Grammarly plug-in that is not available any more.
