Side question: How did the author create the PDF from the markdown source at https://github.com/nh2/strace-pipes-presentation/blob/master/presentation/Debugging%20across%20pipes%20and%20sockets%20with%20strace.md https://github.com/nh2/strace-pipes-presentation/blob/master... ?
- guessmyname 9y ago> How did the author create the PDF from the markdown source He used a tool called Marp [1]. At the top of the Markdown file you can see a code that reads "page_number: true" which can be found in the sample file provided by Marp here [2]. There are other tools out there that can be used to convert a Markdown into slides or PDF. I personally use Deckset.app [3] but searching "markdown presentation" — or — "markdown slides" on the Internet seems to bring a long list of projects aiming for the same feature set.

- extrememacaroni 9y ago> How did the author create the PDF from the markdown source Not with strace, that's for sure.
- shriek 9y ago95% of all documents can be converted with pandoc. But in all seriousness I'm guessing author is using pandoc with syntax highlighting flag. http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#syntax-highlighting http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#syntax-highlighting
