Creating PDFs from Markdown with Pandoc and LaTeX
If you’ve read some of my previous posts on SitePoint or elsewhere, you may know that I’m working on a board game. In the game, called Chip Shop, you get to run a computer company in 1980s America.
As part of the project, I’m attempting to open source the entire game as much as possible. After several false starts, I’ve decided on a basic framework of Markdown for most of the game components—especially cards and the manual.
As the game’s website uses Jekyll, the website for the game is generated from the Markdown files. I intend to have premium pre-boxed and print-yourself versions of the game, and to achieve this I need to generate PDFs from the Markdown files.
