This has been very helpful so far! I get an error when I try and run one of
your commands, though. I am trying the numbered files method, with all
chapters in a folder, numbered like so.
0010-intro.md
0020-part1.md
0030-part2.md.
With all the files in the directory, I run the following command.
pandoc -s -o merged.odt *.md
The error I get is,
pandoc: *.md: withBinaryFile: invalid argument (Invalid argument)
Any ideas on what could be the problem with the above? All of your other
suggestions have worked so far!
