Translation into Albanian (first few chapters) and Portuguese (many thanks to Joas A Santos) languages ​​has begun! =^..^=

create pdf

Use pandoc command:

pandoc -f markdown-implicit_figures --pdf-engine=xelatex -V mainfont="Amiri" -V colorlinks=true -V linkcolor=blue -o mdmz_book.pdf 1-intro.md 2-maldev.md .... 101-finall.md --mathjax

Main font:

Amiri

But for the Russian language I have some issues. First one is with different fonts: for Russian Cyrillic and for Arabic. The second problem is with displaying comments in code blocks in Russian, so I left them in this version as in the original - in English (I generally consider writing comments in code in languages ​​other than English to be very bad form).

So, I my pandoc command for russian is little bit different:

pandoc -f markdown-implicit_figures --pdf-engine=xelatex -V --include-in-header=header.tex -V colorlinks=true -V linkcolor=blue -o mdmz_book.pdf 1-intro.md 2-maldev.md .... 101-finall.md --mathjax

and file header.tex with the following options:

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Fira Mono}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic]{Amiri}

\usepackage{babel}
\babelprovide[import, main]{russian}
\babelprovide[import]{arabic}

\babelfont[russian]{rm}{Courier New}
\babelfont[arabic]{rm}{Amiri}

and some issues with Arabic ligatures, may Allah forgive me. I had to write in Arabic font from left to right but when the file is generated everything works out fine:
