Asset - export - share custom .yaml

S_rocaille

I am a beginner in this kind of software and I am enthousiastic... Nevertheless, it seems quite difficult to manage .yaml files for me! Like .css , is there a way to share examples of asset files (.yaml) that allow nice export (in pdf or .docx) to share our work with colleagues ("classical" fonts, justify-text, margins...) ? Thank you

To make .yaml files more easily, there is this tool that Hendrik made: nathanlesage/pandoc-profile-generator

As for sharing asset files, one way would be to just post them here on the forum. For example, the beginning of my "markdown to XeLaTex-PDF" yaml looks like this:

reader: markdown
writer: pdf
self-contained: true
variables:
  # Sets the size of the document's pages.
  papersize: a4 # Possible values: a0-a6, b0-b6, c0-c6,b0j, letter, executive, legal
  mainfont: "Garamond"
  sansfont: "Arial"
  linestretch: 1.3 # 1.3 means 130% linespacing
  margin-left: 2cm
  margin-right: 2cm
  margin-top: 2cm
  margin-bottom: 2cm

And that's enough to get a pdf that looks a bit nicer to me (and not quite as obviously "stock latex")

Thank you very much. I have tested your "code" and it works perfectly. I didn't know about the pandoc profile generator, I'll try it next...
