@ryanoneill1970 You seem to be using these tools for similar projects to me. I have used #Scrivener for writing for a few years, but recently discovered #Zettlr @zettlr , which had I discovered earlier, I might not have gone to Scrivener. It's #markdown and exports nicely via #Pandoc or #Latex #genealogy #familyhistory
Okay, das ist jetzt gut genug, um's mal zu releasen.
Pan5008 ist eine HTML- und CSS-Vorlage, um mit Pandoc halbwegs mit DIN 5008 konforme Briefe aufzusetzen. Es kommt ganz ohne LaTeX aus und ist deshalb angenehmer anzupassen für Leute, die in Webtechnologien zu Hause sind.
Eingabedokumente können Markdown sein, oder prinzipiell beliebige andere von Pandoc unterstützte Formate.
Es gibt "Profile", um z.B. bequem unterschiedliche Designs zu definieren.
Pandoc templates
I have been using pandoc recently; of course the default MarkDown to pdf style is rather neutral, I looked for some theming. LornaJane on her blog already wrote about Generating a nice-looking PDF with Pandoc.
Of course I knew it may exist: pandoc-templates.org

On my way back from the Franco-German summer school on “Open(ing) Science? Digital Humanities in Area Studies” co-organised by @kschluetter and Eva Ommert in #Leipzig. Thank you so much for bringing together such a great community of scholars working in and on languages and scripts beyond the Global North. Also a huge thanks for letting me run a workshop on plain-text editing and minimal computing!
Disable the `citation` extension when combining the Typst writer with pandoc's "citeproc" handler, as native Typst citation settings don't interact well with citeproc.
pandoc --to=typst-citation --citeproc …
are there #markdown editors on #linux with a dark editing background that can output #pdf directly that doesn't look like hot garbage?
i am writing a lot of cover letters in #abiword and the traditional word processor flow plus the eye-searing white background is annoying. i'd also like to avoid banging out the cover letter in markdown in my text editor and then using #pandoc to convert it.
i'd like to be able to edit my doc and mash an export or save button for a PDF.

"Moloch" is a clean, simple, and freshly modernized LaTeX beamer theme. It's the successor to the popular "Metropolis" theme, brought up to current standards by @jolars with some help from @samcarter.
Usage with pandoc:
pandoc --to=beamer --variable=theme:moloch …

Before that I was jamming with a #plaintext workflow using markdown, coteditor + terminal.app (zsh) + #pandoc after getting red-pilled by @patric. (2/8)
Working on my #pandoc-based Markdown publishing system. Seems to me that the big gap is with non-fiction, where you often want to show or explain something technical or detailed, and need to decide how to mark it up. Full syntax-highlighting is of little use because it lacks focus or annotation (and only works for source code), and manual tagging with HTML/CSS is tedious and lacks automation.
@foxy created a custom writer to output Scribus `.sla` documents.

Scribus is an open source, desktop publishing application, see https://www.scribus.net. The exporter is also available as a Scribus plugin.

Want to convert from any #Pandoc-compatible file format to #Scribus? Just use my latest #sideProject (´｡• ω •｡`)
https://codeberg.org/foxy/scribus-writer.lua
I wrote this to lighten the workload of the board behind my Master's programme's magazine. The Pandoc writer itself is in pure #Lua. Only the GUI wrapper had to be necessarily written in #Python (since it is a Scribus plugin).
Link at end but Tagging @dmoonfire and also seeing if other #Pandoc experts have a solution. In one of my templates, link at end, I'm trying to make a version that will generate/add page numbers when I convert with Pandoc using this template. For some reason, Microsoft Word won't let me add page numbers to the template itself. Has anyone done this with templates? Made it so page numbers are added upon conversion? Literary agents and publishers don't like plain text files, and they need things in Shun Manuscript format, some agents and publishers want page numbers so I wanna just add it to a template and never have to think about it again. This is my template. https://github.com/rkingett/writertools/blob/main/Pandoc%20templates/PandocReferenceWithHeadingsCreatingNewPages.docx
