Re: Looking to hire someone to help pander help converting markdown to pdf

Hi Jacob,

advising others on how to get the most out of pandoc is basically my job
these days, and I'd be happy to help.

One of the first suggestions that I give often is to take a look at
[Quarto](https://quarto.org). It builds on pandoc and makes opinionated
choices, thereby adding a large number of useful features like callout
boxes and built-in support for mermaid charts. Creating an index is
currently limited to PDF output, but it shouldn't be too difficult to
extend that to make it work with HTML, too.
https://quarto.org/docs/books/book-structure.html#creating-an-index

Looking forward to your other questions.

Best,
Albert
