Pandoc, Mactex, Markdown to PDF

README.md

I've had to install and configure these things a few times, and I always forget how to do it, so here it is for posterity:

• Update brew and install pandoc:

  brew update
  brew install pandoc
  

• Install mactex from https://www.tug.org/mactex/

• Update $PATH

  # add the following to .zshrc or wherever you define your $PATH
  export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-darwin"
  

  It's also possible that pdflatex is in a slightly different path depending on the version of MacLaTeX.

• Create PDF from Markdown

  pandoc doc.md -o doc.pdf
