The web app can be found at https://pandoc.org/app . This has almost the full power of the command-line app, subject to the limitations imposed by the WASM sandbox. Thus: - the app…

Pandoc does know how to expand LaTeX macros. For example, given the LaTeX \newcommand{\pair}[2]{\langle #1, #2\rangle} $$\pair{a^2}{\frac{\pi}{2}}$$ pandoc will give you the Typst …

Pandoc developer here. Two comments: (1) to convert equations pandoc uses the texmath library, which I also wrote ( https://github.com/jgm/texmath ). Compiling texmath with `-fexec…

An even older one is my gitit, started in 2008! https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gitit-0.15.1.2 It doesn't limit itself to markdown, nor to git (you can use darcs, hg, or even s…

This was my first computer, too. I have fond memories of programming it in 6502 machine language and saving programs on cassette tape. I still have it, along with the power supply …

As I explained, if you don't want raw HTML, use the second form: pandoc -f html -t gfm-raw_html https://www.fsf.org | grep div gives no output. (If you get different results, it is…

If you don't want pandoc's fenced divs, just choose a markdown dialect that doesn't support them: e.g., pandoc -f html -t gfm https://www.fsf.org Or, to get rid of the divs and spa…

In fact, both claims are misleading. There are two implementations, and they implement distinct flavors with syntactic differences: https://consolelog.gitee.io/docs-asciidoctor/asc…

Oh, but there is! pandoc --shift-heading-level-by=-1 input.md -o output.docx This will promote level-2 headings to level-1, and promote a level-1 heading at the top of the document…

The motivation for this choice is not "convenient parsing" but deeper considerations of language design. As explained at https://github.com/jgm/djot#rationale , this choice follows…

> Markup language which completely falls over this is Markdown. There’s no way to express generic tree structure, conversion to HTML with specific browser tags is hard-coded. This …

Note also that TeX math can contain \text{..} which can itself contain $-delimited TeX math, e.g. $x = \text{my $y$}$. This currently breaks the GitHub implementation.

In pandoc's extended Markdown you can just write # Usage See [Usage]. https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-implicit_header_ref...

In fact, pandoc now does have an ipynb reader and writer. You can convert between ipynb and any of the formats pandoc supports, and you can manipulate the AST using filters.

See https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1456 .

AsciiDoc is a nice project, but I think that pandoc's variant of Markdown has a lot of advantages over AsciiDoc for academic writing. Let's just compare support for math and citati…

"For example, they do not plan to add syntax highlighting blocks (the ```some code``` on GitHub) to their implementation, because they believe that it is outside the scope of markd…

Although I'm involved in both these enterprises, let's not confuse their goals. CommonMark is currently focused on the task of giving a decent spec for the core syntax and robust, …

Your comments (coming from someone who has actually tackled this surprisingly difficult task) are some of the most valuable we've received; having them on the Discourse forum would…

If you think there are ambiguities, please comment at http://talk.standardmarkdown.com . This is meant to be a provisional spec, up for comment. There is undoubtedly room for impro…

For a while I was working on a Haskell-based macro system that compiles TeX-like source to HTML and LaTeX (and whatever else you like) ( https://github.com/jgm/HeX ). You'd write y…

All the vowels in Navajo can have a hook under them (indicated nasal tone) and an acute accent above them (indicating higher pitch). The "ł" is not pronounced as in Polish. It is a…
