Writing Posters with Markdown

To some extent, with markdown package Caveats

I (Nested) bullet and numbered lists I Nothing too complicated!
I Text formatting (italic, bold becomes italic + alerted) I No verbatim or fragile stuff!
I Redefine #### to start a block with title I No #and _ characters!
and ---- to end the block I (I used \texthash and \textunderscore)
I Compile with --shell-escape (Overleaf does this already) I Alternatives: Pandoc, wikitobeamer
