Frequently Asked Questions

• What is pandpandoc and how does it work?

  Pandoc has a modular design: it consists of a set of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a native representation of the document (an abstract syntax tree or AST), and a set of writers, which convert this native representation into a target format. Thus, adding an input or output format requires only adding a reader or writer.

• What types of files can Pandoc convert?

  Pandoc can convert between numerous markup and word processing formats, including, but not limited to, various flavors of Markdown, HTML, LaTeX and Word docx. For the full lists of input and output formats, see the --from and --to options below. Pandoc can also produce PDF output: see creating a PDF,...

• What is Pandoc in Haskell?

  Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. Pandoc can convert between numerous markup and word processing formats, including, but not limited to, various flavors of Markdown, HTML, LaTeX and Word docx.

• What happens if Docx is not specified in Pandoc?

  The contents of the reference docx are ignored, but its stylesheets and document properties (including margins, page size, header, and footer) are used in the new docx. If no reference docx is specified on the command line, Pandoc will look for a file reference.docx in the user data directory (see --data-dir ).

• What format does Pandoc use to create the PDF?

  By default, Pandoc will use LaTeX to create the PDF, which requires that a LaTeX engine be installed (see --pdf-engine below). Alternatively, Pandoc can use ConTeXt, roff ms, or HTML as an intermediate format.

• How do I get UTF-8 in Pandoc?

  Character encoding Pandoc uses the UTF-8 character encoding for both input and output. If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input and output through iconv: iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | Pandoc | iconv -f utf-8
