Academic Writing with Pandoc

It is my intention to write my thesis in LaTeX, by using Pandoc as my main conversion tool. I am noting here my process of defining my workflow.

pandoc -s in.md --citeproc -o out.pdf

• -s parses the output in one standalone file
• --citeproc activates citations, references and bibliography processing
• add --bibliography in the case a bibliography field is not present in YAML metadata for the document
• add --toc in the case a Table of Contents is intended to be added and a toc boolean (toc: true) is not present in YAML metadata for the document
