Pandoc is an extraordinary productivity tool for indie publishers. But indie publishers of fiction and non-fiction books need a detailed step-by-step tutorial to help them publish beautiful books.
So who can help me create one?
Idea:
1. Download Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice from Project Gutenberg. Pride and Prejudice is at the top of Project Gutenberg’s popularity list:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?sort_order=downloads
2. Show how to convert from eBook to Pandoc markdown.
3. Show in step-by-step detail how to create a beautiful PDF version with Pandoc.
4. Repeat with a public domain technical book that includes diagrams and computer code.
Ideally these tutorials would include book-design conventions and wisdom drawn from say:
https://ctan.org/pkg/memoir?lang=en
This project could generate a fairly lengthy document. In this case we could publish it on LeanPub with all proceeds going to further Pandoc development and maintenance.
Ideas and collaboration very welcome.
