DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP "Writing with Markdown: An Introduction for Early Car
 eer Researchers"\nA dissertation with a few hundred pages and even more fo
 otnotes can make Microsoft Word a nightmare to work with. But what are the
  alternatives? Learn LaTeX in addition to everything else? Or just embrace
  the chaos?\n\nThis workshop will introduce Early Career Researchers to wr
 iting with Markdown. Markdown is a lightweight formatting language that of
 fers a simple and intuitive way to write text. And even if you do not plan
  to ditch your familiar word processor at this stage of the writing proces
 s\, Markdown is used in various contexts and useful to know about: from ca
 sual communication (Element chats support simple text formatting using Mar
 kdown) to personal note-taking (many note-taking and knowledge organizatio
 n programs or wikis support Markdown) and rigorous academic writing (the M
 etaphor Papers are all typeset using Markdown).\n\nParticipants will begin
  by learning the basics of Markdown syntax\, including how to create headi
 ngs\, lists\, links\, images\, and more. We will explore how Markdown can 
 be used in everyday scenarios\, such as formatting text chat messages or T
 RAM tickets. The workshop will then delve into more advanced uses\, such a
 s note-taking\, creating presentation slides\, and even write entire disse
 rtations. Examples will include generating footnotes\, and bibliographies\
 , and converting Markdown documents to various formats (PDF\, DOCX\, etc.)
