Pandoc – A universal document converter

Re:Pandoc – A universal document converter by ImaCake on Saturday October 24, 2020 @09:28PM (#24883180)

Pandoc is a tool used daily by those of us who write code notebooks (rmd or jupyter) or are into using markdown for their notes and occasionally need to print said notes. It is hard to overstate how useful Pandoc is for me.

I would bet many people who use Pandoc have no idea they rely on it. I don't think Jupyter or RStudio make a big fuss about it even though they both use it.

I’m a big fan of keeping md documents in source control, then publishing them wherever they need to go in the CI/CD pipeline, and I’ve used pandoc a lot for that.

I always ponder whether it’s the most practically useful Haskell tool ever written.

Either pandoc or shellcheck, for sure. Both of them are sensible choices to use Haskell for

Yes, RStudio uses it and I find it lives up to the title "The Swiss Army Knife of document conversion."

This is great to know. I use markdown for journaling, note taking, and documentation. I don't need to print anything but if I did then I'd probably go the way of mardown to html with custom css - now I will give pandoc a try first.
