# Pandocipy

Working on a higher education certification process I've had to take a careful look at inclusivity of teaching resources. As a mathematician I always thought that there was not much more that could be done then a LaTeX and pdfs. Importantly, some students would like and/or need teaching resources (notes, exercise sheets etc) in different formats that would allow them to change formatting to make things easier to read.

[Pandoc](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) is a great tool that allows you to go from one format to multiple others. It works great and often surprises me with how it never goes wrong.

![Using Pandoc for Universal Notes](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1sVRPkx7yr4smkZjb85DXF9UvvzDHNqS-1P4m9RXnVNQ/pub?w=867&h=396)

Importantly one can use LaTeX in the markdown file and this will still work.

This directory contains a simple python script that will take all markdown files in a directory and convert them to the following formats:

- html (using webtex which converts mathematics to image files);

- pdf (using LaTeX);

- docx.
