We are grateful for the spirit of generosity that moved these individuals to create high-quality open source software for the benefit of all.We use Markdown everywhere at Foliovision as our main project management software Teamwork offers excellent Markdown support.
Mike Bostock created the D3 library for producing dynamic, interactive data visualizations for the web. Davide Cervone and Volker Sorge created the MathJax library for rendering mathematical notation on the web. John MacFarlane created the Pandoc universal markup converter.

Author entries must have at least a name and url specified (the affiliation fields are optional). title : "Distill for R Markdown" description : | Scientific and technical writing, native to the web date : author : - first_name : "Yihui" last_name : "Xie" url : affiliation : RStudio affiliation_url : orcid_id : 0000-0003-0645-5666 - name : "JJ Allaire" url : affiliation : RStudio affiliation_url : - name : "Rich Iannone" url : affiliation : RStudio affiliation_url : bibliography : biblio.bib output : distill::distill_article -Īuthor names can be specified using explicit first_name and last_name fields or with a single name field.
