NEW: If you are interested in making your academic writing easier, take a look at this LaTeX class, which was made to address the limitation of this snippet-based approach.
Here you will find an Obsidian css-snippet, which will format pdf-exports as academic writing akin to LaTeX compilation. Simply place academic-pdf-export.css in your obsidian snippets folder and activate it in settings. Tested with minimal-theme.
Consider this a starting point. Pull-requests and forks are very welcome.
This css-snippet uses the 'Latin Modern' font family - a LateX font clone, which may have to be installed separately, or you can simply change the fonts in the css to something else, e.g. 'Times New Roman'.
To the left is shown obsidian in source mode, i.e the source code. To the right is the exported pdf.

UI-tweaks.css will make Obsidian preview mode better resemble what is being exported.
