Faltheftchen (PocketMod) sind ein Evergreen. Aber wie drucke ich sowas ohne Aufwand und mit freier Software? Hier der versprochene Blogpost:

#PocketMod #Faltheftchen #pandoc #pdflatex

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

Looking for suggestions about how to convert #pdf to #odt under #Linux.

#Pandoc can do the reverse.

Thank you

Article by @alefunguju on how to use pandoc to produce nice-looking diffs for docx and odt with #git, and even how to provide that functionality with #Forgejo.

Massimiliano Farinella wrote #pundok, a visual #editor for #pandoc. The editor is based on pandoc's internal format, so no information is lost when transferring the documents to pandoc for further processing.
The editor is written using #ProseMirror and #Tiptap; it can be included in web pages or be run standalone (via Electron).

#Obsidian #Export #Debian #Pandoc #pdflatex #question

I just installed an Obsidian plugin for multiformat export (github.com/mokeyish/obsidian-e…) which uses pandoc.
Pandoc, in turn, needs a pdflatex engine (as a default / recommended). Now, I am struggling to find a way to install pdflatex in Debian. The search for packages brought me to tracker.debian.org/pkg/texlive… which manpage mentions pdflatex, but after installation neither CLI nor Obsidian can detect such command.

Is there an easy way to get pdflatex, or should I switc to another pandoc-accepted engine, and which one?

Using #Emacs and #OrgMode as a binder for the pieces of my next novel and its makefile.

I know I could just use #Scrivener, but I find I like the notion fo outlining in the binder and then linking to the Markdown source for the draft.

I've been building my (GNU) makefile with <http://swcarpentry.github.io/make-novice/>. If I want to make PDFs I'll need to remove the old 'n busted #teTeX packages that come with #Slackware and install #TeXLive from slackbuilds.org because #pandoc needs #pdflatex.
