Modifications to Zettlr's export.pdf.yaml configuration file for generating LaTeX PDFs

ZettelDistraction

In case anyone is interested, here are my modifications to the PDF (Latex) output defaults for Zettlr+Pandoc. This file is accessible in the Zettlr assets manager under preferences > assets manager > Exports > PDF. This example shows how to augment the Zettlr+Pandoc+MikTeX configuration to include style files and various packages as needed.

variables:
# Sets the size of the document's pages.

# Further variables are documented here: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#variables-for-latex
# My customizations start here

Here's some sample output. This proposition is generally considered too trivial to prove.
