+# Convert to PDF using PANDOC
+
+Here is a simple **bashscript** to convert a `mdp` presentation file (`.md`) to `pdf` format using `pandoc`.
+
+**Usage suggestion**:
+
+- Name this script with mdp2pdf
+- Put this script somewhere on your PATH
+- Now you can execute anywhere, just by typing:
+    - `mdp2pdf awesome-presentation.md` # or
+    - `mdp2pdf -s awesome-presentation.md`
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+
+file=''
+as_slides=false
+usage='
+    mdp2pdf usage:
+
+    mdp2pdf [ --as-slides | -s ] FILE
+
+    converts a mdp presentation markdown to a PDF file.
+
+    Options:
+        By default, mdp2pdf converts the mdp presentation
+        markdown file to a continuos portrait oriented page.
+        This setup can be changed with:
+
+        -s
+        --as-slides : PDF document is generated as a landscape
+            oriented page and "---" are interpreted as
+            new pages.
+'
+err_argc='error: not enough arguments:'
+err_file='error: file not found:'
+
+if [[ $# -lt 1 ]]; then
+    echo "$err_argc $#"
+    echo "$usage"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+if [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; then
+    [[ "$1" =~ --as-slides|-s ]] && as_slides=true && shift 1
+    [[ ! -f "$1" ]] && echo -e "$err_file $file \n$usage" && exit 1
+    file="$1"
+fi
+
+cleared=$(mktemp --suffix=.md)
+trap 'rm -f "$cleared"' EXIT
+
+sed_pattern='s/(^->\s*(.*))/\2/;/^%/d;s/\s*\^\s*//;s/<-\s*$//'
+
+pandoc_args=(
+    "--pdf-engine=tectonic"
+    "--syntax-highlighting=breezedark"
+    "-f" "markdown"
+    "-V" "linkcolor:blue"
+    "-V" "geometry:a4paper"
+    "-V" "geometry:margin=2cm"
+    "-V" "mainfont=DejaVu Serif"
+    "-V" "monofont=DejaVu Sans Mono"
+    "-o" "${file%.md}.pdf"
+)
+
+if [[ "$as_slides" == true ]]; then
+    sed_pattern+=';s/^---/\\newpage/'
+    pandoc_args+=(
+        "-V" "documentclass=extarticle"
+        "-V" "classoption=landscape"
+        "-V" "fontsize=12pt"
+    )
+fi
+
+sed -E "$sed_pattern" "$file" > "$cleared"
+pandoc "$cleared" "${pandoc_args[@]}"
+```
+
+Here `pandoc` is using `tectonic` as PDF engine but it can be changed.
+Also, this script assumes user are using `---` (three dashes) for slides delimitation.
+
+For this piece of slide (backslashes were add in  ``` to not break this issue formatting):
+
+```md
+---
+
+-> # Operadores e expressões
+  
+  
+## Operadores aritiméticos
+
+Em **C** existem os operadores aritiméticos
+comuns a qualquer linguagem de programação:
+^
+
+\```c
+i = i + 3;  // Adição
+i = i - 8;  // Subtração
+i = i * 9;  // Multiplicação
+i = i / 2;  // Divisão
+i = i % 5;  // Módulo
+\```
+^
+
+Bem seus atalho de atribuição:
+
+\```c
+i += 3;  // igual a "i = i + 3"
+i -= 8;  // igual a "i = i - 8"
+i *= 9;  // igual a "i = i * 9"
+i /= 2;  // igual a "i = i / 2"
+i %= 5;  // igual a "i = i % 5"
+\```
+^
+
+Em **C**, não existe o **operador de exponenciação**.
+Nesse caso, usa-se as funções `pow()` e similares
+providas pela biblioteca `main.h`.
+
+---
+```
+
+This is what I get using that script with `--as-slides` flag:

+
+**Tested with**:
+- `mdp 1.0.18`
+- `pandoc 3.10.2`
+- `tectonic 0.16.9`

+**System**: Debian GNU/Linux Testing (forky)
