Increase the font size of a pdf document compiled with Pandoc
To increase the font size when converting a Markdown file to a pdf with Pandoc add the option -V to specify a custome template, then set the variable documentclass to article, then -V again, and finally set the variable fontsize to 12pt, for example. So the command you run would be, for example:
$ pandoc -o file.pdf file.md -V documentclass=article -V fontsize=12pt OR add this to the top of your document:
---
documentclass: article
fontsize: 12pt
pagestyle: empty
---I read on the web that possible sizes are 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt.
Edit
It seems that for fontsizes larger than 12pt I need to modify documentclass to extarticle. For example:
---
documentclass: extarticle
fontsize: 17pt
pagestyle: empty
---Check out $ man pandoc to see other possible document class.
