Type in Markdown, use the power of LaTeX, render in PDF. All-in-one.

Using sublime text build system.

Very useful to write small reports, usually less than 20 pages. It behaves just as you expect.

Install it

You must have sublime text already installed. Then:

sudo apt install texlive pandoc

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/raphaelcasimir/markdown-to-pdf.git

Then modify the Markdown to PDF.sublime-build file so the path to the default.latex matches the actual path of the file (included in this repo, so you cloned it).

Then copy Markdown to PDF.sublime-build to your sublime packages folder:

cp Markdown\ to\ PDF.sublime-build ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages

Run it

Set your document's syntax to markdown: CTRL+SHIFT+P and ssm (set syntax markdown).

Use CTRL+B to build your markdown document. A PDF file will be generated at your document's location and evince (you can change that in the .sublime-build file) will show it.

Hit this shortcut each time you want to see a render of your work.
