Give instructions to create and access ~/.pandoc without unhiding invisibles #10

My reasoning for the suggestions made are:

  1. Unhiding files will show not only ~/.pandoc folder but every existing hidden file and folder. If the user is unfamiliar with it all and changes or deletes the wrong folder, something may break. If the user knows this, she/he doesn't need instructions.
  2. Opening hidden files and folders in Finder doesn't require unhiding them and one of the proposed methods doesn't even use the Terminal.
  3. The uses it, but many instructions, including installing pandoc itself involve the Terminal already.
  4. Installing pandoc doesn't create ~/.pandoc, so having instructions may help less savvy users.

And one obvious but unrelated typo was corrected.
