pandoc-latex-template VS tufte-latex

You can inline LaTeX chapter/section break commands even when processing Markdown, and in several ways (dropping \newpage directly in the content before chapters, using header templates, as YAML metadata in the Markdown file, even on the command line).

Google has many examples; one's here using a header file: https://medium.com/@sydasif78/book-creation-with-pandoc-and-...

More are here, including an example using the header-includes YAML metadata param: https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template/issues...

Really? Should work with any OpenType font. Are you generating in a language that doesn't use roman-ish alphabet? You're not wrong that working with TeX can involve a lot of yak shaving in general. Sometimes finding the right template can solve a lot of problems. I use Eisvogel. https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template

If you really want to go that route, take a look at pandoc and ping me if you have questions. Pandoc in combination with the Eisvogel LaTeX template can be a quick way to get a really good-looking doc.

Nice! But is there a reason why you linked that fork? This looks like the original (and more recently updated): https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template

I want to use this template : https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template And it's not really great with HTML export which is why I need a PDF preview.

I looked for pandoc templates, and found "eisvogel" (https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template) although I still did not like how it rendered as I wanted it to look like a dissertation.

I write Markdown files in VIM and compile them to a PDF using pandoc. I use the eisvogel LaTeX template to make the document more fancy.

in previous posts in this subreddit i got rec'ed this https://github.com/Tufte-LaTeX/tufte-latex however im struggling to get started with creating documents with it, not really understanding how it works to get the document classs set up etc. so can anyone give me some help, once i get the first steps it will probably be easier then

--- PS: I know that that tufte-latex already exists, but I really wanted to try to create the perfect thing for me, while learning a lot about LaTeX.

The thesis style is based on https://github.com/Tufte-LaTeX/tufte-latex. My preamble is a mess but if you email me I can send you a copy. :D
