A tip for anyone trying to convert from MS Word format to #latex using #pandoc. To get source code blocks to convert to verbatim environments in latex, create a style called "Source Code" and apply this to your source code in Word. Make sure to use (manual) line breaks rather than paragraph breaks within the code block.
One of the nice things about Mastodon right now is everyone is trying so hard to be friendly and create community. Lots more interesting conversations because people are making an effort. It's great!
As an example the #projects hashtag, an open invitation for creative people to talk about interesting things they've built. Lots of good stuff there. #introduction is also a wholesome thing.
