Exercises in Foundations Episode

[kekoziar]

The episode Foundations indicates 15 minutes for exercises, but no exercises are included. Is there a suggested exercise? What have those who have taught this lesson used?

Hi @kekoziar I do this as a show and tell - no exercise that they do. I also usually show them a bit of markdown and how using pandoc, you can turn that simple markup into a PDF, HTML page or formatted Word doc - all from the one file source.

Generally get a bit of ooohing and ahhing at that !

For the markdown file examples, I do bold, italic, bulleted list, numbered list, web link and an image and then show them how all that renders in the different output files.
