pandoc: Conversion between markup formats

[ gpl, library, text ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can read several dialects of Markdown and (subsets of) HTML, reStructuredText, LaTeX, DocBook, JATS, MediaWiki markup, DokuWiki markup, TWiki markup, TikiWiki markup, Jira markup, Creole 1.0, Haddock markup, OPML, Emacs Org-Mode, Emacs Muse, txt2tags, ipynb (Jupyter notebooks), Vimwiki, Word Docx, ODT, EPUB, FictionBook2, roff man, Textile, BibTeX, BibLaTeX, CSL JSON, , and CSV, and it can write Markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML, HTML 5, LaTeX, ConTeXt, DocBook, JATS, OPML, TEI, OpenDocument, ODT, Word docx, PowerPoint pptx, RTF, MediaWiki, DokuWiki, XWiki, ZimWiki, Textile, Jira, roff man, roff ms, plain text, Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, Haddock markup, EPUB (v2 and v3), ipynb, FictionBook2, InDesign ICML, Muse, CSL JSON, LaTeX beamer slides, and several kinds of HTML/JavaScript slide shows (S5, Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, reveal.js).

In contrast to most existing tools for converting Markdown to HTML, 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, 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.

The universal markup converter

Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can convert from

It can convert to

Pandoc can also produce PDF output via LaTeX, Groff ms, or HTML.

Pandoc’s enhanced version of Markdown includes syntax for tables, definition lists, metadata blocks, footnotes, citations, math, and much more. See the User’s Manual below under Pandoc’s Markdown.

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. Users can also run custom pandoc filters to modify the intermediate AST (see the documentation for filters and Lua filters).

Because pandoc’s intermediate representation of a document is less expressive than many of the formats it converts between, one should not expect perfect conversions between every format and every other. Pandoc attempts to preserve the structural elements of a document, but not formatting details such as margin size. And some document elements, such as complex tables, may not fit into pandoc’s simple document model. While conversions from pandoc’s Markdown to all formats aspire to be perfect, conversions from formats more expressive than pandoc’s Markdown can be expected to be lossy.

Installing

Here’s how to install pandoc.

Documentation

Pandoc’s website contains a full User’s Guide. It is also available here as pandoc-flavored Markdown. The website also contains some examples of the use of pandoc and a limited online demo.
