Converting markdown to PDF

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Pandoc does Markdown to LaTeX (to PDF) just fine.

I use something like

	pandoc --wrap=none -f markdown-auto_identifiers \
		-t latex --template=/Users/el/pantemplates/mytemplate.tex \
		filename.markdown > filename.tex

where I took one of the LaTeX templates and modified it to my liking.

	-t pdf

should also work, but I haven't tried this, so I don't know what
converter it takes.

Using R is a little overkill in my view, but if it works it works :-)-O

greetings, el
