Hi Alex,
thank you, this is a very productive form of preparing a new form of publication.
While I'd be happy with just writing in markdown, I'd also like to compile it to pdf to see how it looks in the end.
pandoc is a great thing, everyone should have it I believe. I installed it via homebrew:
brew install pandoc
(that may be one easy way to get it actually)
But I haven't managed to use it, e.g.
pandoc -f markdown -t pdf iclc2015.txt
returns: pandoc: Unknown writer: pdf
It would be good to have such info in the readme / template
The rest is fine so far!
Cheers
Julian
