* does it have any advantage over web?
* Pandoc - https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/tag/1.16.0.2  the file pandoc-1.16.0.2-osx.pkg (for Mac OsX). (Pandoc is a Markup (file) converter. It does not have a graphical interface, instead runs on you computer's terminal.
* should it exist only as the off line version of a website, or there other reasons for its existence?
Due of this, once you install Pandoc you wont see its icon in the Application menu. To confirm it is installed you can type "which pandoc"  in your computer terminal and press enter; if installed it will reply something like "/bin/pandoc")
* is it an interesting format for publishing?
* A plain-text editor (either one of these, or another of your preference):
    *
    * Gedit https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit
    * (Note: MS Office, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, etc are NOT Plain-text editors, but text processors that add style to the text. Plain text editors are often used by programmers, who need text to be plain text, without formatting).


If you don't have a laptop, around 10 Mac desktop computers are available in the room where the workshop will that place.


 
See you next week
