Conversion method for pandoc

To load on Manjaro Dell:

1. Must have pandoc >= 2.6

   To get it:

   • yay pandoc -bin

   • on ubuntu via package manager or via debian

   Check version via pandoc --version [in a terminal]

   If you see a lower numbered version of pandoc...

   conda deactivate (in a terminal)

Note: As of March 2019, the default version of pandoc in Anaconda is 1.19

To get things to work in a terminal (in the directory where the *.ipynb is):

1. This step is necessary only if you want to strip out the bad $ \alpha $ stuff

   In a bash terminal issue command

   python latex_space_strip.py [myinputfile.ipynb] -o [myoutputfile.ipynb]

2. Issue this command in a bash terminal

   pandoc [myfilenamenew.pynb] -f ipynb+tex_math_dollars -t rst -s -o [newfilename.rst]

   For example (this worked on Feb 22, 2019 in Singapore)

   pandoc test23.ipynb -f ipynb+tex_math_dollars -t rst -s -o test23.rst
