It can +read markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and +it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, ConTeXt, Texinfo, +groff man, MediaWiki markup, RTF, OpenDocument XML, ODT, DocBook XML, +and S5 HTML slide shows. + +If no *input-file* is specified, input is read from *stdin*. +Otherwise, the *input-files* are concatenated (with a blank +line between each) and used as input. Output goes to *stdout* by +default (though output to *stdout* is disabled for the `odt` output +format). For output to a file, use the `-o` option: + + pandoc -o output.html input.txt + +The input and output formats may be specified using command-line options +(see **OPTIONS**, below, for details). If these formats are not +specified explicitly, Pandoc will attempt to determine them +from the extensions of the input and output filenames. If input comes +from *stdin* or from a file with an unknown extension, the input is assumed +to be markdown. If no output filename is specified using the `-o` +option, or if a filename is specified but its extension is unknown, +the output will default to HTML. Thus, for example, + + pandoc -o chap1.tex chap1.txt + +converts *chap1.txt* from markdown to LaTeX. And + + pandoc README + +converts *README* from markdown to HTML. + +Pandoc's version of markdown is an extended variant of standard +markdown: the differences are described in the *README* file in +the user documentation. If standard markdown syntax is desired, the +`--strict` option may be used. + +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 + +Pandoc's HTML parser is not very forgiving. If your input is +HTML, consider running it through `tidy`(1) before passing it +to Pandoc. Or use `html2markdown`(1), a wrapper around `pandoc`. + +# OPTIONS + +-f *FORMAT*, -r *FORMAT*, \--from=*FORMAT*, \--read=*FORMAT* +: Specify input format. *FORMAT* can be + `native` (native Haskell), `markdown` (markdown or plain text), + `rst` (reStructuredText), `html` (HTML), or `latex` (LaTeX). + If `+lhs` is appended to `markdown`, `rst`, or `latex`, the input + will be treated as literate Haskell source. + +-t *FORMAT*, -w *FORMAT*, \--to=*FORMAT*, \--write=*FORMAT* +: Specify output format. *FORMAT* can be `native` (native Haskell), + `markdown` (markdown or plain text), `rst` (reStructuredText), + `html` (HTML), `latex` (LaTeX), `context` (ConTeXt), `man` (groff man), + `mediawiki` (MediaWiki markup), `texinfo` (GNU Texinfo), + `docbook` (DocBook XML), `opendocument` (OpenDocument XML), + `odt` (OpenOffice text document), `s5` (S5 HTML and javascript slide + show), or `rtf` (rich text format). Note that `odt` output will not + be directed to *stdout*; an output filename must be specified using + the `-o/--output` option. If `+lhs` is appended to `markdown`, + `rst`, `latex`, or `html`, the output will be rendered as literate + Haskell source. + +-s, \--standalone +: Produce output with an appropriate header and footer (e.g. a + standalone HTML, LaTeX, or RTF file, not a fragment). + +-o *FILE*, \--output=*FILE* +: Write output to *FILE* instead of *stdout*. If *FILE* is + \``-`', output will go to *stdout*. + +-p, \--preserve-tabs +: Preserve tabs instead of converting them to spaces. + +\--tab-stop=*TABSTOP* +: Specify tab stop (default is 4). + +\--strict +: Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants. + +\--reference-links +: Use reference-style links, rather than inline links, in writing markdown + or reStructuredText. + +-R, \--parse-raw +: Parse untranslatable HTML codes and LaTeX environments as raw HTML + or LaTeX, instead of ignoring them. + +-S, \--smart +: Use smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses. (This option is significant + only when the input format is `markdown`. It is selected automatically + when the output format is `latex` or `context`.) + +-m*URL*, \--latexmathml=*URL* +: Use LaTeXMathML to display embedded TeX math in HTML output. + To insert a link to a local copy of the `LaTeXMathML.js` script, + provide a *URL*. If no *URL* is provided, the contents of the + script will be inserted directly into the HTML header. + +\--jsmath=*URL* +: Use jsMath to display embedded TeX math in HTML output. + The *URL* should point to the jsMath load script; if provided, + it will be linked to in the header of standalone HTML documents. + +\--gladtex +: Enclose TeX math in `<eq>` tags in HTML output. These can then + be processed by gladTeX to produce links to images of the typeset + formulas. + +\--mimetex=*URL* +: Render TeX math using the mimeTeX CGI script. If *URL* is not specified, + it is assumed that the script is at `/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi`. + +-i, \--incremental +: Make list items in S5 display incrementally (one by one). + +-N, \--number-sections +: Number section headings in LaTeX output. (Default is not to number + them.) + +\--no-wrap +: Disable text wrapping in output. (Default is to wrap text.) + +\--sanitize-html +: Sanitizes HTML (in markdown or HTML input) using a whitelist. + Unsafe tags are replaced by HTML comments; unsafe attributes + are omitted. URIs in links and images are also checked against a + whitelist of URI schemes. + +\--email-obfuscation=*none|javascript|references* +: Specify a method for obfuscating `mailto:` links in HTML documents. + *none* leaves `mailto:` links as they are. *javascript* obfuscates + them using javascript. *references* obfuscates them by printing their + letters as decimal or hexadecimal character references. + If `--strict` is specified, *references* is used regardless of the + presence of this option. + +\--toc, \--table-of-contents +: Include an automatically generated table of contents (HTML, markdown, + RTF) or an instruction to create one (LaTeX, reStructuredText). + This option has no effect on man, DocBook, or S5 output. + +-c *CSS*, \--css=*CSS* +: Link to a CSS style sheet. *CSS* is the pathname of the style sheet. + +-H *FILE*, \--include-in-header=*FILE* +: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the header. Implies `-s`. + +-B *FILE*, \--include-before-body=*FILE* +: Include contents of *FILE* at the beginning of the document body. + +-A *FILE*, \--include-after-body=*FILE* +: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the document body. + +-C *FILE*, \--custom-header=*FILE* +: Use contents of *FILE* as the document header (overriding the + default header, which can be printed by using the `-D` option). + Implies `-s`. + +-D *FORMAT*, \--print-default-header=*FORMAT* +: Print the default header for *FORMAT* (`html`, `s5`, `latex`, + `context`, `docbook`, `man`, `markdown`, `opendocument`, + `rst`, `rtf`). + +-T *STRING*, \--title-prefix=*STRING* +: Specify *STRING* as a prefix to the HTML window title. + +\--dump-args +: Print information about command-line arguments to *stdout*, then exit. + The first line of output contains the name of the output file specified + with the `-o` option, or \``-`' (for *stdout*) if no output file was + specified. The remaining lines contain the command-line arguments, + one per line, in the order they appear. These do not include regular + Pandoc options and their arguments, but do include any options appearing + after a \``--`' separator at the end of the line. + This option is intended primarily for use in wrapper scripts. + +\--ignore-args +: Ignore command-line arguments (for use in wrapper scripts). + Regular Pandoc options are not ignored. Thus, for example, + +: pandoc --ignore-args -o foo.html -s foo.txt -- -e latin1 + +: is equivalent to + +: pandoc -o foo.html -s + +-v, \--version +: Print version. + +-h, \--help +: Show usage message. + +# SEE ALSO + +`hsmarkdown`(1), +`html2markdown`(1), +`markdown2pdf` (1). +The *README* file distributed with Pandoc contains full documentation. + +The Pandoc source code and all documentation may be downloaded from +<http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/>. + |
