Making lecture notes with pandoc
Raw
pandoc_lectures.md
  1. Install a markdown editor. I have used Atom with the following packaged added
    • markdown-preview-plus to view your pdf as you edit. This isn't configured to render the beamer slides but it produced a normal pdf document as you type which is still handy.
    • highlight-bad-chars - highlights none acsii chars that cause latex a problem
    • pdf-view is also handy - it opens your created pdf files directly in Atom.
    • Language Markdown - for some md auto formatting
    • Optional tweeks for Atom: In the core package Autocomplete-plus I would suggest changing 'Keymap For Confirming A Suggestion' to 'tab always, enter when suggestion explicity selected'. The default tab and enter is fine for programming but doesn't work well when writting English.
  2. Install latex - there are lots of ways of doing this depending on your OS. Make sure you have beamer installed as well.
  3. Install pandoc. The repo versions might be really old, so I installed the latest from here.
  4. Install any templates you want. I've used Eisvogel for my book theme.
