notes on printing notes from GitHub markdown to pdf

notes.md

One time,

echo -e '\usepackage{extsizes}\n\usepackage[margin=0.25in]{geometry}' >extsizes.inc

because -V geometry:margin=0.25in is ignored for some reason.

Then

pandoc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tbnorth/deltest/554550cf/toolsdemo.md \
  --include-in-header extsizes.inc -V documentclass=extarticle \
  -V fontsize=20pt -V fontfamily=arev -o toolsdemo.pdf

pdfjam --nup 2 --landscape --letterpaper toolsdemo.pdf -o print.pdf

(use hash because CDNs aggressively cache GitHub data so default / master doesn't update, also pandoc can't pipe out PDF so use intermediate file)

Going through pandoc lets \newpage work.
