I am a heavy user of Pandoc. As I write all my text in markdown using Obsidian, but have to create content for the MS Office environment, I use Pandoc to convert my markdown content into ms office formated content.
I would be lost had I have to use the Office tools to edit and format my text.
So thank you to all the maintainers of Pandoc.
- ltrg 4mo agoI used it to output my doctoral thesis in LaTeX from Markdown 10 years ago, and similarly for going back and forth between my supervisor's Word documents and the main thesis text. Embarrassingly, a horrible little script for converting Pandoc's Markdown endnotes to inline format remains my most-starred GitHub repo: https://github.com/ltrgoddard/inliner/ https://github.com/ltrgoddard/inliner/

- maxerickson 4mo agoBasic familiarity with the paragraph styles in Word is like a 20 minute task. If you are using markdown, you already understand the conceptual basis for it, so you just need to understand how it's implemented over there. I'm not arguing that it is something you should do, just rolling my eyes at "I would be lost".
- submeta 4mo agoNot lost because it's hard to learn, but because I don't like writing in ms office products. It's not just word, I write formated long emails in outlook as well.
