This repository contains the markdown source of the book Humboldt: Reise in die Aequinoctialregionen... (etext #38638 at Project Gutenberg), as long as markdown is not accepted as file format there. It also serves as a tracker of issues regarding that etext, so, if you find a transcription error, you can either fix it yourself and post the patch, or tell me about it in the tracker. Thanks to github!
But you also can generate other formats from the source, as long as you have pandoc installed, using the commands
make txt
or
make html
For still other formats see the pandoc documentation.
