one source for blog , pdf, and slide show (was: Re: [school-discuss] e-book formatting (was Re: text reader))



Related to this is a problem I often have, and it occurred to me that others here may have faced, and solved, this issue:

I use a website (a blog actually) to organize all my lesson plans. I like the ease of updating (sometimes even in class) and the ease with which my students can access the material.

Sometimes I need to turn this into a presentation, but if I simply go through the blog it doesn't always fit properly on a screen. Worse, if I print it, page breaks come in random places.

I'd like to create one source and be able to produce these other forms from it in some coherent and pleasing manner.

Any suggestions?

If anyone runs across some other tips on e-book formating and
conversion, please share them.

A tool that I find very useful is Pandoc
(http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/). You write your text in an
extended markdown format, and from one source you get HTML, LaTeX,
EPUB, and many other document formats.
