Is there any chance that you will create a printable version of this docs as it would be very useful if it is distributed on my college tech club and my fellow linux geekmate. Thanks

That would be useful. You could fork it, convert .md to LaTeX, and then submit the LaTeX file as PR.

@sirredbeard I could do that. I'm not new to LaTeX, and shouldn't be too much work to create that PR. Would you want just the README.tex, and possibly separate instructions on how to build it to an indexed PDF, or would you want the binary PDF as part of the project also? Personally, I think just the README.tex, or whatever you want it named, with instructions on building the PDF would suffice.

README.tex and PDF instructions would be very cool.

How about using pandoc for this?

Definitely. I was already working on it with:

$ pandoc --wrap=none -s -o README.tex -f markdown -t latex README.md
$ pdflatex README.tex

But it ends with the error:

LaTeX Warning: File `https://awesome.re/badge.svg' not found on input line 71.


! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .svg.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

? 

Of course, we need the svg LaTeX package, but I think a better approach may be to make all the images local to the project, rather than referring to external ones.

Thoughts?
