md-to-tex

GitHub Action to compile Markdown documents to LaTeX and then to PDF.

The markdown files in ./<input-path>/ is compiled to ./<output-path>/content.tex. This file needs to be included inside ./<output-path>/main.tex via \include{content}.

./<output-path>/content.tex will be treated as the root file of the LaTeX project for the PDF compiler.

The comnplete content of <output-path>, including the .tex and .pdf files, are uploaded to the GitHub Action Artefacts.

It uses markedjs/marked and xu-cheng/latex-action. See their documentation for more details.
