+% The pandoc command line (see configure.py) can communicate variables to this
+% LaTeX skelaton, by using the "-V varname=value" command line parameter, and
+% there are also some builtin variables defined by other options. With such a
+% variable, we can use "$varname$" for the value, and $if(varname)$...$endif$
+% for conditional code when this varname is defined.
+%
+% For an example of a more complete LaTeX template covering more of pandoc's
+% features, check out the example templates/default.latex in pandoc's
+% installation, or pandoc.org/demo/mytemplate.tex on their site.

+% Indentation went out of style with Disco music... It is especially
+% inconvenient in text which includes a lot of code snippets, etc, which
+% causes a lot of indents not preceeded by a text paragraph. So replace
+% the indentation with increased spacing between paragraphs. Note that this
+% also makes the TOC more spacious, I'm not sure it's a great idea.
