Students will be given an overview of the basic capabilities of Pandoc, a free command-line tool available for most major operating systems. Pandoc supports source citation and will nicely format your footnotes and bibliography for you.

The example files used during the class will be made available so participants can try the process using their own hardware.

Topics covered:

• Authoring content using Markdown, including citation syntax
• Using Front Matter to specify metadata
• Running the pandoc utility on markdown files
• How to supply bibliography data

Audience: Anyone who authors handouts or A&S documentation
