Experimented a bit with typesetting for an upcoming book binding project. Going from individual markdown files to a final pdf to print (via Pages). Looks like the simplest process so far and for a one off experiment perfect. Also found Bookbinder 3.0 to reorder the pdf for print.

@V_ oh man, gonna have to try bookbinder. Been really struggling to not lose formatting between my markdown editor and Affinity Publisher, but I didn’t know any other way to get the binding-ready PDF.

@oddevan I'm not understanding it quite yet but so far it looks usable. And the best I don't need to pay to try it out.
