[BlindMath] markdown

[Robin Williams]

Many thanks for taking the time to do this, Jonathan. I certainly think the use of Markdown is the way to go for aspiring students, and I'll be advising any that contact me to invest the time and effort to get up to speed. The increasing array of tools at our disposal is certainly encouraging, and hopefully it will continue to grow.

All the best,
Robin

Hello all,

I promised to get more information to people about using markdown.

I've discovered that my use of R means that I am getting the benefit of the added tools various developers have created. They only work inside R of course. <sigh>

Replicating the benefits outside R has proven interesting, and I think rewarding enough to suggest you take a look at the results (in html) and my findings at:

https://r-resources.massey.ac.nz/tutorials/pandoc/example1.html

This web page has a link to the file I started with.

All commands to convert from one file type to another start with "pandoc" which is a necessary installation if you intend to run the examples.

I put all of the commands shown into a single batch file so that it processes the whole lot at once. If you don't want to use a batch file then you'll need to type the commands out at a command prompt.

HTH
Jonathan
