Convert Markdown file to pdf with Pandoc

Install Pandoc

After a while (9300s) wondering how to make a pdf export from a atom generated markdown (…I know), without any success, finaly I went to Pandoc.

First download the pandoc installer for debian based distro here Ubuntu: releases

Install the package with: sudo dpkg -i pandoc-[release_version]

pandoc --version:

pandoc 3.1.5 Features: +server +lua Scripting engine: Lua 5.4 […]

Some packages are to install (LaTeX packages) :

sudo apt install texlive-xetex

To make a pdf from a markdown file, then run the command:

pandoc yourfile.md --pdf-engine=xelatex -o yourfile.pdf
