Eisvogel: A clean pandoc LaTeX template with a focus on computer science

Very interesting not only for professors but also for students as myself. I had a similar workflow for my assignments using Markdown and pandoc but this template is better in so many ways that I may change my workflow.<p>For those that want to try this without the manual and painful installation process I found that pandocker[1] supports this template.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dalibo&#x2F;pandocker" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dalibo&#x2F;pandocker</a>

While I really like the colours (reminds me of Nord[0]), wouldn&#x27;t it be better to use a serif font? Most researchers I know still read research papers on actual paper, where serif fonts seem to be preferred.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;arcticicestudio&#x2F;nord" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;arcticicestudio&#x2F;nord</a>

I&#x27;d like to do my notes in markdown, but as a maths&#x2F;cs student there&#x27;s a lot of structure in the data (proofs, lemmas, intermezzos, sidenotes) that would be lost should I go down (eheh) the markdown route. I&#x27;ve been using Pollen [1] (you can think of it as LaTeX for web programmable in Racket and without cool typesetting, so yeah, not like LaTeX at all), but I wouldn&#x27;t mind something more elegant and readable in plain text.<p>How do you (would you, did you) take your notes in college?<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pollenpub.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pollenpub.com</a>

looks nice, will try it out<p>For my usecase, I started from default pandoc+xelatex output and customized step by step searching on stackoverflow&#x2F;tex.stackexchange for things like font, page size, link color, styling inline code, chapter breaks, bullet styling, pdf properties, etc [1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnbyexample.github.io&#x2F;tutorial&#x2F;ebook-generation&#x2F;customizing-pandoc&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnbyexample.github.io&#x2F;tutorial&#x2F;ebook-generation&#x2F;c...</a>

looks good, but the licence is a strange pick for a template... as i understand the wording, you&#x27;ll have to add the licence even if you make a PDF.<p>&gt; <i>Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:</i><p>&gt; <i>[...]</i><p>&gt; <i>Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice,</i>

Nice, but how well does it deal with corner cases, e.g. listings that run over multiple pages, or lines that are too long?

Tangentially (looking at the example), have people created Lorem Ipsum generators for code?

I’ve been using this for internal work documents for quite a while, and I’ve been very happy with the workflow, and the look of the docs has been well received.

Beautiful!
