I was going to listen to this audiobook, but then I discovered the author has rejected Mastodon, barely uses Threads, and is very active on X. Not going to read this anymore. #PracticeWhatYouPreach

so, I'm about to graduate from colidge. The Bachelor's degree I'll get will be in computer science, though I dk if I refere to it correctly in english. Either way, I have to write a 40 page document about a program I wrote, including code and screenshots if applicable, which should be formatted relatively nicely, including footnotes, citations and all that fun stuff universities usually require for this. So then, I want to write it in markdown, with the help of pandock, which I could then host on a git server somewhere. My question is, since I never did this before, are there formatters I can use to produce a nice and at least marginally looking academic docx or pdf, or maybe some pluggins y'all know of, and any useful sintax for the more esoteric bits such as citations and bibliography references would also be appreciated. I do know markdown itself, or at least most of it, from writing stuff on github at first, and then other relatively short documents where all the format specifiersI needed were headings, because I decided the format then. Also, any other tips, such as regarding how I should structure it from a filesystem point of view, also conversion scripts or whatever, could go a long way towards helping. I know of the trick to number files sequentially to make sure they are inserted correctly in the document, but that kinda seemns lame. I also don't want to have to type out every single file in the right order with an extremely long command I then dump in a script, because that's prone to mistakes. Anything y'all suggest, about this or any other thing presented here, would be awesome! I know this thing shouldn't take a lot of time to make, but I want to have a relatively solid system to do it with
