From markdown to PDF. Html pandoc math.text -s -mathjax -o mathMathJax.html pandoc math.text -s -katex -o mathKaTeX. Markdown is the best way to write things for Pandoc, and probably the best way to write things for publishing to the web. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a lightweight, shortened version of HTML that uses simplified tags like. - # to format documents. It’s mostly writing plain text, but with a little practice you can easily implement. Pandoc test1.md -f markdown -t html -s -o test1.html. De Markdown a LaTeX. Pandoc test1.md -f markdown -t latex -s -o test1.tex.

Pandoc - pandoc is an implementation of markdown (and much more) in Haskell.It can convert markdown-formatted text to HTML, LaTeX, rich text format, reStructuredText, or an S5 HTML slide show.

With Pandoc, it is possible to use a CSS stylesheet while converting Markdown to HTML.

This is the basic format of the command:

Assuming you have the custom CSS ready. If not, one possibility is to use a classless CSS stylesheet. I came accross MVP.css recently and liked how it looked.

To use MVP.css for documenting a project I’m working on, I had to make some modifications to Pandoc’s default HTML template. These are the steps I followed.

First, I saved the default template to a file:

Pandoc Convert Html Table To Markdown

And then, made the following changes in template.html:

  • Move TOC to a dropdown menu in site navigation
  • Add a button with a link to the project website
  • Update colour scheme using CSS variables and made some minor adjustments to styles

After adding some YAML metadata 1 to README.md, I ran pandoc again with the modified template and CSS file to generate the final output:

You can get the modified template, MVP.css, a Makefile, and input and output files from this repository on GitLab.
