This document presents part of the solution to the problem described in this repository using Pandoc Markdown instead of plain LaTeX. If you haven't browsed that repo yet, you should take a quick look.
Compare the readability of the Markdown source to the LaTeX source from that repo. In general, when using Pandoc Markdown instead of LaTeX you can get by with much simpler text (though you sacrifice a little power). You can also see the compiled output, which looks basically the same as the PDF generated from before.
The Makefile contains a number of targets that let you compile the Markdown
file to a PDF if you have pdflatex and pandoc installed. In particular, you
can run make view to compile the PDF and open it in your default PDF viewer.
You can reuse this Makefile across Pandoc Markdown projects to compile them into PDFS. The only thing that you will have to change is the first line of it:
TARGET=writtenFor this assignment, we've called our file written.md, and the value of
this TARGET variable is set appropriately. Just make sure to change it if you
call your LaTeX file something else.
