Joss: paper.md to pdf before submission
Is there a way to convert my paper.md to a pdf file before submission?
I could not find anything in that regard in the documentation.
I would like to give it to my co-authors in a format that they can see how the final version would look like.
Thanks already in advance!

Unfortunately, installing Whedon is not trivial. You can get much of the way (minus the template/page decoration) with pandoc and pandoc-citeproc (probably available in your package manager).
pandoc --filter pandoc-citeproc --csl ~/src/whedon/resources/apa.csl --pdf-engine=xelatex paper.md -o paper.pdf

Also, this script should help you get you a pretty good preview too: https://gist.github.com/arfon/09a11047de1c972e37f77e95d2c10efa

@arfon This needs to be improved. Why not offer a Docker image which can generate the pdf?

I love this idea. I'm just short on time and haven't been able to get to this yet unfortunately.
If anyone on this thread was motivated to work on this that would be ✨

What about https://github.com/openbases/openbases-pdf? Is this dead? Working? Not supported by JOSS?
