1.2 Install LaTeX (TinyTeX) for PDF reports

Pandoc sample1.txt -o sample1.pdf. If you want to use xelatex instead, use -latex-engine=xelatex. PDF Document render. 96 blood oxygen. When i now prettify this file with pandoc -f markdown -t markdown -standalone -reference-links filename.md -o newfile.md, I will.

If you would like to create PDF documents from R Markdown, you will need to have a LaTeX distribution installed. Although there are several traditional options including MiKTeX, MacTeX, and TeX Live, we recommend that R Markdown users install TinyTeX.

TinyTeX is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is relatively small in size, but functions well in most cases, especially for R users. Installing or running TinyTeX does not require sysadmin privileges.¹ You can install TinyTeX with the R package tinytex(Xie 2020e): Pulse wave therapy.

Please note that “tinytex” refers to the R package, and “TinyTeX” refers to the LaTeX distribution. There are two advantages of using TinyTeX: Pokerstars software for mac.

1. TinyTeX is lightweight (compared to other LaTeX distributions), cross-platform, and portable. For example, you can store a copy of TinyTeX on your USB drive or other portable devices, and use it on other computers with the same operating system.

2. When R Markdown is converted to PDF, Pandoc converts Markdown to an intermediate LaTeX document first. The R package tinytex has provided helper functions to compile LaTeX documents to PDF (the main function is tinytex::latexmk()). If you use TinyTeX and certain LaTeX packages are required but not installed, tinytex will try to automatically install them for you. It will also try to compile the LaTeX file for a sufficient number of times to make sure all cross-references are resolved.

I’m interested in learning whether other pandoc users use it to write
letters or other short documents (i.e. shorter than a thesis) that need to
be exported to PDF or printed, and what your workflow is like. Let me tell
you about mine:
I start with writing down the text in a markdown file. This is great,
because it forces me to focus on the content and prevents me from
procrastinating by fiddling with the layout of the document.
When I’m done with the content, I choose a template and use pandoc to
export to PDF. I get a feel of how many pages the text takes and whether I
should add more paragraphs, subtitles etc. Then comes the time to refine
the layout for this specific document: add page breaks etc. to avoid widows
and orphans, or adjust the font size and margins for very short letters
that would look lost on a large sheet of paper.
Again, I’m talking relatively short documents here, that contain no
citations etc. I guess, that’s what most people would use Word for, but I
just cannot bring myself to use it – bad memories.
I used to export to PDF mostly with LaTeX, but lately I’ve come to use CSS
(and wkhtmltopdf) more often. For one, because I know CSS by heart, and it
always takes me too much time to look up how specific LaTeX packages work.
For another, because I can use the browser’s developer tools to adjust CSS
and get immediate visual feedback, whereas with LaTeX, compilation usually
takes a few seconds.
I’ve been experimenting with a few different ways to add those few
document-specific lines of CSS that override some things in the template.
1. Copy and customize a pandoc template (but that leaves me with lots of
template files, in lots of directories, that are almost identical).
2. Add a `<style>` tag with the CSS via the `header-includes` variable.
3. Add the `<style>` tag directly to the document body.
All of the above are somewhat unsatisfying to me.

[CSS-in-JS](https://medium.com/seek-blog/a-unified-styling-language-d0c208de2660),
I was thinking of putting something like the following in a markdown file’s
YAML metadata:
---
css:
- p:
font-size: 30px
- li:
margin: 20px
---
For this to work with pandoc out of the box, we would have to put something
like the following in the HTML template, and extend the templating language
with the `$key` and `$val` constructs:
<style type='text/css'>
$for(css)$
$key(css)$ {
$for(css)$
$key(css)$: $val(css)$;
$endfor$
}
$endfor$

So.. this turned out to be longer than expected.

Long story short: what do you think? what’s your workflow to quickly and
painlessly layout shorter documents for PDF export?
