This repository contains a .md
file to create "The Plain Person's Guide to Plain Text Social Science", a guide to software tools, aimed at graduate students in the social sciences. It is a revised version of Choosing Your Workflow Applications. The main changes are updated links, additional obiter dicta, a stronger emphasis on RMarkdown, knitr
, and pandoc
, and a conversion of the base document format to Markdown (and away from org-mode
). If you have the tools described in here, along with the templates and configuration files described here, then the Makefile
can create a nice .pdf
, .tex
, or .html
file for you in a single step.
