nherbaut / pandoc-ieee-springer-conference-template

This is a template that uses pandoc to produce an IEEE Conference or Springer LNCS pdf from Markdown markup

Fed up with latex and want to write a paper for an IEEE or Springer format Conference? This template repository uses pandoc so that the Markdown content of paper.md is automatically converted in a IEEE or Springer conference compatible pdf.

You'll need to install the necessary tooling for it to work, or simply use a github action to produce the pdf. In that case whenever a new tag is pushed, pandoc will produce the PDF and attach it to the new release corresponding to the new tag.
