Skill Share: Pandoc on Thurs Oct 24 at Noon

  • Posted by Tahir H. Butt on October 25, 2017 at 5:00 pm

    In this week’s installment of the GC Digital Fellows Skill Share series, I will be sharing what I know of Pandoc, the swiss-army knife of document tools. I have been using Pandoc for over 5 years as my primary document tool for academic writing. I am going to assume those attending have at least heard of Markdown and might have even written Markdown markup already, though not necessarily for their academic writing.

    I will cover:

    1. Installing Pandoc
    2. Pandoc’s Markdown
    3. Pandoc’s citation extension filter
    4. Using Pandoc with Zotero with the Better Bib(La)TeX plugin for Maximum Satisfaction™
    5. Templates for all you aesthetes who want your PDFs and docx files to Look Just Right
    6. Bonus: Pandoc Filters to extend Pandoc for special purposes (e.g. including a csv file as rendered table)
    7. Extra Bonus: R Markdown to create publishable documents from data analysis in R and Python

    As always, we will gather from 12:00 PM to 2 PM in the Digital Scholarship Lab (Rm. 7414) in the Graduate Center.
