IAP 2020: Introduction to Markdown and MkDocs

Why?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that:

• is very easy to pick up;
• can be converted into many file formats such as PDF, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, etc. using Pandoc;
• can generate diagrams such as UML Sequence Diagrams, Flowcharts, Class and State Diagrams;
• can be used to create a static site, using the static generator MkDocs.

Prerequisites

• Python 3 with pip installed
• GitHub account

Workshop materials

• Online slide deck

Special thanks to…

• SUTD Digital Design Developer Student Club (3DC) for organising this IAP conference;
• OpenSUTD for allowing me to host my content here;
• All workshop attendees for attending my workshop!
• Marp, the Markdown Presentation Ecosystem, which I used to create the slide decks in HTML and PDF.
