Generate Thesis pdf with pandoc #61

Closed coppertank closed 4 months ago

coppertank commented 4 months ago

Hi everyone, I apologize in advance for my noobie question but I don't have much experience with pandoc. Reading the installation section for creating the thesis in PDF, there are two ways: one with docker and the other with pandoc.

Point 4, specifically, says: "Either set an environment variable PANDOC pointing to the location of your pandoc installation or change the line PANDOC ?= docker run --rm -v $(WORKDIR):/pandoc pandoc-thesis pandoc in the Makefile to reflect your settings".

However, I'm not sure how to interpret this point. Suppose I want to produce the PDF of the thesis with pandoc (Eisvogel template), once I have downloaded the zip containing all the files, what would be the steps and the code to generate it with pandoc?

Thanks in advance
