On: Writing a Book with Pandoc, Make, and Vim

[DyslexicAtheist]

pretty cool. I'm using a similar setup that allows a real-time preview of every change by means of the `entr`[1] command and gets triggered by saving the markdown.

  ls ./presentation.md |entr -c bash -c "pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex --toc -N presentation.md -t beamer -o presentation.pdf; killall -HUP mupdf"

this would reload the pipeline and update the content of the pdf output. easy as 1-2-3 (no Makefile though which would be another step).
