Table's issue

2013-06-12T08:10:18

Hello,

Im currently using Pandoc 1.11.1, but I've got a tables issue (longtable).

Sometimes my tables are not shown at all (visible but in plain text) and 
sometimes my tables are rendered out of the page

See example below:
HTML: http://application.wikixl.nl/tmp/basisgemeente_23.html
PDF: http://application.wikixl.nl/tmp/basisgemeente_23.pdf

Im using the default.latex template for conversion. Does anyone has a clue 
to fix this?

Problem at parsing code block with long attributes

Björn Peemöller — 2013-06-11T12:53:30

Hi,

I just discovered a strange behaviour when it comes to fenced code
blocks with long attributes. When I process the following file

~~~~~~
Text.

~~~ {.java .numberLines include="3_ExtendedBuffer/TimeException.java"}
foo
~~~

Text.

~~~ {.java .numberLines include="3_ExtendedBuffer/TimeonException.java"}
bar
~~~
~~~~~~

using `cat test.markdown | pandoc -t markdown`, I get

~~~~~~
Text.

~~~~ {.java .numberLines include="3_ExtendedBuffer/TimeException.java"}
foo
~~~~

Text.

~~~~
{.java .numberLines include="3_ExtendedBuffer/TimeonException.java"}
bar
~~~~
~~~~~~

That is, in the second code block the attributes are parsed as content
of the code block.

Can somebody explain this behaviour? I'm using pandoc 1.11.1.

Thanks in advance,
Björn

HTML tables and PDF generation

2013-06-07T19:36:48

Hello,

If i have simple HTML table like below, the pdf generation on Unbuntu 12, 
with pandoc 1.0 and texlive creates a table in PDF like in the attachment. 
Is the a solution for this? In DOCX etc, there is no problem with this 
table.

Regards,
Toine Schijvenaars

strip a latex file completely of all latex constructs

Uwe Brauer — 2013-06-07T19:21:16

Hello 

Is there a way to strip a LaTeX file completely of its LaTeX commands.
For example 
pandoc -f latex evolution.tex -t plain -o ev.txt  

Leads to a file which still contains 
T^{\alpha\beta} = (\epsilon+p) u^\alpha u^\beta + pg^{\alpha\beta}

Is there away to strip even such constructs.

thanks

Uwe Brauer

Suggestion: Support CriticMarkup

jakov — 2013-06-07T18:18:34

"CriticMarkup is a way for authors and editors to track changes to 
documents in plain text." http://criticmarkup.com/

There are five types of Critic marks: 

   - Addition {++ ++}
   - Deletion {-- --}
   - Substitution {~~ ~> ~~}
   - Comment {>> <<}
   - Highlight {== ==}{>> <<}

I think that these markups could be added to pandoc as an "additional 
layer", that is, it could be "ignored" during parsing, but kept in mind 
when adding the element to the document. For the PDF-output it would be the 
best to have real PDF-comments (what you get when using the virtual 
textmarker in a PDF file.

Of course, the deltetions and additions don't make a lot of sense to be in 
the same output file, so one should be able to opt for either "before" or 
"after" parsing. In the first the additions are ignored and in the second 
the deletions are ignored during parsing. The result would be two PDF 
versions for comparison.

Is it possible convert markdown with images to docx?

2013-06-07T13:14:15

Hello all, 
I have one problem. 
In markdown, I have reference on picture (![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)) 
and when I created docx, was without images. 
Please, could you help me? Is a special command for this or exist another 
way for doing this?
Thanks

Missing begin document

nicolas couturier — 2013-06-06T09:21:07

  Hi everyone, 

Using pandoc with a HEADER option, from a markdown file to a pdf file. 
Here's my code : 
pandoc  --standalone --include-in-header=SHEADER.markdown  -o README.pdf  
./README.markdown

The outuput is : 
pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

By setting the output to a .tex file, i can see that the document is not 
standalone.  
Did i missed something ? 
Thanks for any help, 
  Nicolas. 

P.S. : 
"pandoc -v" return  : 
  pandoc 1.11.1
  Compiled with citeproc-hs 0.3.8, texmath 0.6.1.3, highlighting-kate 
0.5.3.8.

DZSlides speaker notes

Nick Moffitt — 2013-06-05T16:20:36

I recently used `-t dzslides` to great effect, and even found a
presenter control console file that helped me deliver my talk.
I was even (with the version of dzslides used by pandoc 1.10.1) able to
add speaker notes to my console through use of a `<details>` tag (in
future versions of dzslides that will become `<div role="note">`).

What I wished for was the ability to just use pandoc footnotes, and to
have those appear as the appropriate HTML in my DZSlides output.  Bonus
if they were consolidated as individual items of some sort inside a
single tag block for each relevant slide.

What would it take for this to happen?

How to extract all citation keys from a document

Makaken Affe — 2013-06-04T18:34:22

I'd like to extract all citations from a Pandoc markdown document to 
retrieve the corresponding BibTeX entries file from a reference management 
software and to see which citation keys are unknown. I expected one of this 
to work:

    echo 'See [< at >Foo]' | pandoc -t json
    echo 'See [< at >Foo]' | pandoc -t json --bibliography=empty.bib

Unfortunately citations are only parsed when their citation key is defined 
in the bibliography. How can I extract all citation keys from the document?

customising dzslides

Ross Ahmed — 2013-06-04T11:12:53

I'm converting a .Rmd file to html to produce some slides. I've found the 
default.dzslides file in /usr/local/share/pandoc-1.10.1/data/templates/ . 
I'm trying to change some of the options in the default.dzslides file. I 
have 3 questions:

1. How can I change the body text to black ( at the moment, it is red)?

2. How can I centre an image ( at the moment, it is on the left hand side 
of the slide)?

3. How can I customise individual slides ( at the moment, the every slide 
is being affected by  changes in the default.dzslides file)?

Alternate nested list handling?

One of the nicest features of TiddlyWiki markup<http://tiddlywiki.com/#[[Basic%20Formatting]]%20[[Headings%20Formatting]]%20[[List%20Formatting]]>is how it handles nested lists:

no bullets in toc when using numbered sections?

fhirsch — 2013-06-03T17:51:47

It seems that when using numbered sections and a table of contents (toc) 
that the HTML for the table of contents is nested bullet lists with 
hardcoded section numbers. Having both bullets and numbers is distracting.

Would it make more sense in the case of numbered sections for pandoc to 
output HTML using ordered lists to generate the section numbers in the toc?

Is this already possible? (very likely I've missed it)

thanks

plugin for Graphwiz files (Dot)

Mohammed Haris Minai — 2013-06-03T11:56:19

I remember seeing an example of how to use this plugin but am somehow 
unable to google it out now.

I know that the demo is at: 
http://gitit.johnmacfarlane.net/Dot%20Plugin%20Demo and the source can be 
accessed from the same page, but how do I use it?

I seem to remember that the command line to use it was something like this:

pandoc -<someoption> Dot.hs <file_with_embedded_dot_commands> -o 
<op_file.html>

Personally I wish to use it for PDF output. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

p.s. I am a complete noob as regards haskell, but have a done the cabal 
install of pandoc.

Tpl4md and pandoc-watch

David Loureiro — 2013-06-01T21:40:53

Hello,

My name is David, In the course of my company's activity (I am the CEO of an ISV), I tried to advocate using Markdown for writing documents, presentations, letters, etc. I was familiar with pandoc, so I based my initial work on it.

I wanted to create documents of several different types, and to create them automagically, so I started by setting up a kind of project toolchain based on so-called templates (my document types). Feeding those to pandoc resulted in documents conforming to the company's visual identity.
Really, there was no reason to keep this by myself, so I opened the code right away. If you are interested, you can find it on my GitHub repository: https://github.com/dloureiro/tpl4md it's sort of a markdown document project generator based on template and pandoc for the compilation.

As of now, only one template is available, but I am going to add more as soon as I am done cleaning them: simple and complex pdf document, reveal.js/slid.es presentation, etc.

Following that, I figured that

docx writer and localized style names

Till A. Heilmann — 2013-05-31T17:21:24

When I write a docx file with pandoc, some of the text elements in the 
resulting Word document show up with the localized names of the styles 
(because of my German Office), namely: 

- "Standard" (instead of "Normal"),
- "Titel" (instead of "Title") and 
- "Datum" (instead of "Date") 

Most other text elements' styles have the 'original' American-English 
names, though, for instance: 

- "Heading 1" … (instead of localized "Überschrift 1" …) 
- "Block Quote" (instead of localized "Blocktext") 
- "Footnote Reference" (instead of localized "Fußnotenzeichen") 

I'd prefer a consistent behavior here, preferably the localized style names 
(which would make it easier to adapt pandoc-generated Word files to 
pre-existing custom styles in personal templates). 

Now, I don't know about the pandoc writer modules, but in VBA you can refer 
to Word styles in two ways: Either you use a literal string to give the 
style's (localized) name, or you use the element of class WdBuiltinStyle. 
So, for example, you can s

atx-header support for asciidoc ?

Max Rydahl Andersen — 2013-05-30T22:08:00

I would like to have pandoc support atx-header for asciidoc output.

Meaning instead of generating

Header A
~~~~~~~

Header B
+++++++

etc.

it would generate

= Header A

== Header B

Just like is supported for Markdown.

It's been years since I've done Haskell and haskell is downloading and 
compiling after 4+ hrs 
and I need some sleep so thought I would post here :)

Is this a feature that could make it in ?

Here is my experimental first patch (mind you - haven't been able to 
compile this yet - haskel is still working in the background ;)
