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:
- Installing Pandoc
- Pandoc’s Markdown
- Pandoc’s citation extension filter
- Using Pandoc with Zotero with the Better Bib(La)TeX plugin for Maximum Satisfaction™
- Templates for all you aesthetes who want your PDFs and docx files to Look Just Right
- Bonus: Pandoc Filters to extend Pandoc for special purposes (e.g. including a csv file as rendered table)
- 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.
