As for users rightly not caring how pandoc does its thing that point can't be stressed enough. Of course there is a progression of degree of involvement with the AST from the proverbial ordinary user over filter authors and filter engine developers to pandoc developers but it is very important that the ordinary user feels included. A logo must speak obviously and immediately to eveyone at any level of involvement. In a sense that is true of documentation too: there ought to be a general overview to get everyone started, no matter their level of computer experience and whether they want to go on to the full manual and the gory details or not. tors 19 jan. 2017 kl. 09:47 skrev Sergio Correia : > Personally, I wouldn't use a logo chosen without the approval of John; > would feel a bit rude tbh.
