One though: if this is supposed to be a guide for new users, there 
should probably be several 'end step's: One for a pure-pandoc solution 
that can be implemented with no other dependency installs, one 'this is 
gorgeous' solution with everything thrown in, and maybe one 
middle-of-the-road with a couple of extra niceties, but still has no 
more than one-two dependencies.

Then the guide can work through to each: Steps to get to the 
pure-solution, then show how to expand that, and then show just what the 
toolchain is fully capable of.
