Move from LaTeX to Mardkown/pandoc #5

Open cburgard opened 1 year ago

cburgard commented 1 year ago

As has been discussed in the meetings in April of 2023, it would be advantageous going forward to move away from the current LaTeX document and towards a simpler solution for documenting the standard.

One suggested option was pandoc, but other options are possible as well.

People don't seem to have strong opinions on this. I would go with Markdown, just because I know it a lot better. Are any advocates for pandoc (or any other option) around to make their point?

Pandoc is a document processing tool that can convert between many different format. I suppose it was mentioned as a tool to convert the existing document. It also has its own Markdown dialect.
