Hi Alex,
Thanks for doing this - I think it's a good idea.
It might be worth adding these OSX installation instructions to help new people on that platform:
install homebrew: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
use homebrew to install pandoc and pandoc-citeproc: brew install pandoc pandoc-citeproc
install MacTeX from
http://www.tug.org/mactex
make sure pdflatex can be found: echo "export PATH=/usr/texbin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
Other than that, seems straightforward to me!
Yours truly,
David
