Workshop "Markdown for Science"

On June 8th, Martin Fenner and Stian Haklev are organizng a one day workshop at the Public Library of Science HQ in San Francisco. Spots are limited so register early.

Some of the potential outcomes of the workshop include:

  • Notes from discussion about the suitability of Markdown for scientific authoring (different stages, disciplines, etc)
  • Comprehensive list of tools/initiatives
  • Notes from discussion about collaboration/synergy between tools
  • List of interesting examples/showcase (GH repositories etc)
  • List of "barriers", "obstacles" etc
  • Notes from discussion about way forward, applying for grants, etc

@_inundata If you can make it easy (really easy) to add CSS styles to pre blocks in Markdown, you'll be my new best friend...

Use case is adding <span class="highlight"> or <span class="comment"> inside an indented block that triggers <pre>.

The event is supported by a 1K Force11 Challenge prize.

Please contact the organizers @houshuang and @mfenner if you want to give a presentation or demo.
