Files for roff ms output

ms.yaml and companions is a set of defaults files for (g)roff ms output, primarily for PDF. It assumes the presence of the lua filters listed in ms.yaml, as well as the template bk.ms.

Aside from the main file, the following additional defaults for ms are currently present:

• ms/div: Filtering settings for fenced divs, by class and by attribute (such as lang).

• ms/toc: Adds a table of contents to the end of the document.

• ms/coverpage: Adds a table of contents and renders a title page (instead of a title/author section at the top of the first page).

• Font (family, pointsize, lineheight) settings under ms/fonts/:

  • als: Alegreya Sans.
  • cm: New Computer Modern Serif + New Computer Modern Sans (for headings).
  • cr: Crimson Text.
  • gar: EB Garamond + FiraGO.
  • garlib: Garamond Libre + FiraGO.
  • lf: Libertinus + FiraGO.
  • lora: Lora.
  • mm: Minion + Myriad.
  • plain: Times + Helvetica ("native" fonts T and H)
  • pal: Palatino + Avant Garde ("native" fonts P and A)
  • ss: Source Serif + Source Sans.
  • t: Free Serif (a Times-like font, hence the abbreviation).

Typical usage:

pandoc -d ms -d ms/div -d ms/fonts/gar -o my.pdf my.md
