Announcement: Markdown and SILE - markdown.sile v1.1.0 release

[Didier Willis]

Greetings,

For users who might want to author documents in Markdown format and use the SILE typesetter for PDF generation, I am glad to announce that markdown.sile has just reached its 1.1 milestone, with a good bunch of new features and extensions.

I hadn't mentioned the previous v1.0 on this list, but the markdown.sile collection (https://github.com/Omikhleia/markdown.sile) is a 3rd-party package set for SILE than can be installed via the "luarocks" package manager. It provides two related packages for processing Markdown files with SILE (a "native" one with SILE only, and an experimental one based on using Pandoc).

If you like Markdown and prefer using it rather than the SILE language (or in addition to it, for the best of two worlds!), you might want to give it a try.

Regards,

Didier.
