Reasons for not using Microsoft Office

1. I don't like writing documents with Microsoft Word.
2. I don't like making slides with Microsoft PowerPoint.
3. I don't have much money for Microsoft.
4. Many Microsoft Office skills will be outdated in several years.

Why do I write documents with pandoc?

1. Tools are free.
2. I enjoy using Vim to edit text.
3. Skills are independent of platforms and are valid over a long period of time.

Sample output

Here are some demo files.

1. Slides: sample_beamer.pdf

Note: The items in the nested list need to be indented by 4 spaces, instead of 2.
i.e. The above screenshots are wrong, and sample.txt on the master branch is correct.
