This week @readbeanicecream is my guest for the #OverUnder 078
He shares his thoughts on #Pandoc, #Ghostty, #PKM, #diary, and #Flammkuchen..
He also replied to @alex's question.
And, like every week, we got a recommendation for two #books.

Once again I went down a rabbit hole figuring something out, and now you -- yes, you, random person on the internet -- can benefit from my work.
I write slides for my classes in markdown and turn them into reveal.js slides. Sometimes I want to post the slides, but I want to strip out speaker notes and other non-useful bits. I could edit the output, maybe, but...ugh. Let's do this properly.
You can write filters for pandoc, but the documentation just wasn't that great.
Well, I figured it out: https://gist.github.com/dandrake/1b6deb7779b5629f75b35bfac3a2f9aa

Hoping those familiar with #LaTeX can give me some advice here. I've started using it to create my assignments for school. I'm not writing technical papers yet, but I find using LaTeX with #Zotero in #VSCode more #accessible with a #ScreenReader than most other setups I've tried.
Since my discussion posts have to follow #APA style, I’m using LaTeX for those as well as full papers. That part is going well—but I’m running into trouble when I need to actually post what I’ve written.
My school uses Brightspace, which allows discussion posts in either rich text or #HTML. I have #Pandoc installed, so I tried converting my LaTeX source to HTML and pasting the code. But Pandoc didn’t include my references section in the output.
I also tried copying from the PDF, but that stripped all formatting.
Does anyone know how I can get a clean HTML version of my work—with references included—that I can paste into Brightspace?
Here’s the command I’ve been using:
pandoc main.tex \
--bibliography=references. Bib \
--csl=apa.csl \
--standalone \
-o main.html
It creates the HTML file, but the references section is missing.
Any tips?

After using prawn and paru/pandoc gems in a few book/doc building projects. I've decided the way to go in future is paru/pandoc.
The tell was changing fonts within a table. I wanted No Man's Sky glyphs (Hexadecimal, 0 => F) in a doc.
It also means I can either generate or manually maintain markdown fragments. Then pull them all together in the final doc build step.
Using markdown also means I can embed Latex as needed. This is how I did the font changes within tables.

#Enseignement #ESR #Cours #Markdown
J'ai pris le temps de reprendre le format du pdf du cours d'un collègue pour en faire un template #LaTeX pour #Pandoc. Une fois qu'on a compris le truc, c'est vraiment pas compliqué d'avoir un résultat (plus) propre. Il y a que des petits trucs un peu tricky à gérer (les tableaux avec des images 😅).
Moi:
Regarde ce que j'ai fait, ça t'intéresse?
Le collègue:
Oui. :amazing:Rappel quotidien que #Excel (#Excelshit) et #Word sont des inventions du démon.
