J'en profite pour ajouter que le site d' @arthurperret@sciences.re est rempli de contenus super intéressants sur le sujet, et que je suis notamment à fond sur ces sujets grâce à lui

I am currently on a rabbit hole with Markdown, pandoc, reveal.js and read this nice ebook. It's definitely more useful if you are a researcher, teacher, and use R, but still a book to read if you are curious.
