So read the thread that yuriy rasied last week my sumarry - write in pier publish in latex, html, markdong
âmarkdongâ ? thatâs a chinese variant :P
;P yes 400 Ã 195 - baudelet.net vietnamese apparently
For md, there is pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) it converts a lot of format into a lot of other formats :)
Yes we know. But again as I said it one million times. Markdown does not offer what is needed to write books. I will not repeat here. And I will not hack pandoc to make it works.

I do not get it
- do not want to **hack** in haskell, ruby⦠to extend libraries
- markdown does not support references and other essential points for making decent books
What do you mean by "references and other essential pointsâ ?
I will not repeat it :) Read the thread of yuriy.

To me, markdown or pier is a new syntax to learn so I am asking ⦠To me, doing Pier because you do or because you said to is no really an argument.
Then I am open to a real answer but I also see that markdown is integrated to a lot of tools (github and jekylls by examples) and that a lot of people knows about markdown.
This was a real question, not a troll ...

No seriously?
If you want to get an answer read the thread that yuri raised a while ago. Because we already discussed discussed and discussed it.
I will not write any book in markdown. Now you can try and we see.

Stef, what is the advantages of writing it in Pier compared to markdown ?
