2032+A pipe transforms the value of a variable or partial. Pipes are
2033+specified using a slash (`/`) between the variable name (or partial)
2034+and the pipe name. Example:
2041+$for(metadata/pairs)$
2042+- $it.key$: $it.value$
2045+$employee:name()/uppercase$
2048+Pipes may be chained:
2051+$for(employees/pairs)$
2052+$it.key/alpha/uppercase$. $it.name$
2056+Some pipes take parameters:
2059+|----------------------|------------|
2061+$it.name.first/uppercase/left 20 "| "$$it.name.salary/right 10 " | " " |"$
2063+|----------------------|------------|
2066+Currently the following pipes are predefined:
2068+- `pairs`: Converts a map or array to an array of maps,
2069+ each with `key` and `value` fields. If the original
2070+ value was an array, the `key` will be the array index,
2073+- `uppercase`: Converts text to uppercase.
2075+- `lowercase`: Converts text to lowercase.
2077+- `length`: Returns the length of the value: number
2078+ of characters for a textual value, number of elements
2079+ for a map or array.
2081+- `reverse`: Reverses a textual value or array,
2082+ and has no effect on other values.
2084+- `first`: Returns the first value of an array, if
2085+ applied to a non-empty array; otherwise returns
2086+ the original value.
2088+- `last`: Returns the last value of an array, if
2089+ applied to a non-empty array; otherwise returns
2090+ the original value.
2092+- `rest`: Returns all but the first value of an array, if
2093+ applied to a non-empty array; otherwise returns
2094+ the original value.
2096+- `allbutlast`: Returns all but the last value of an array, if
2097+ applied to a non-empty array; otherwise returns
2098+ the original value.
2100+- `chomp`: Removes trailing newlines (and breakable space).
2102+- `nowrap`: Disables line wrapping on breakable spaces.
2104+- `alpha`: Converts textual values that can be
2105+ read as an integer into lowercase alphabetic
2106+ characters `a..z` (mod 26). This can be used to get lettered
2107+ enumeration from array indices. To get uppercase
2108+ letters, chain with `uppercase`.
2110+- `roman`: Converts textual values that can be
2111+ read as an integer into lowercase roman numerials.
2112+ This can be used to get lettered enumeration from array indices.
2113+ To get uppercase roman, chain with `uppercase`.
2115+- `left n "leftborder" "rightborder"`: Renders a textual value
2116+ in a block of width `n`, aligned to the left, with an optional
2117+ left and right border. Has no effect on other values. This
2118+ can be used to align material in tables. Widths are positive
2119+ integers indicating the number of characters. Borders
2120+ are strings inside double quotes; literal `"` and `\` characters
2121+ must be backslash-escaped.
2123+- `right n "leftborder" "rightborder"`: Renders a textual value
2124+ in a block of width `n`, aligned to the right, and has no
2125+ effect on other values.
2127+- `center n "leftborder" "rightborder"`: Renders a textual
2128+ value in a block of width `n`, aligned to the center, and has
2129+ no effect on other values.
2134+### Metadata variables
2136+`title`, `author`, `date`
2137+: allow identification of basic aspects of the document. Included
2138+ in PDF metadata through LaTeX and ConTeXt. These can be set
2139+ through a [pandoc title block][Extension: `pandoc_title_block`],
2140+ which allows for multiple authors, or through a
2141+ [YAML metadata block][Extension: `yaml_metadata_block`]:
2149+ Note that if you just want to set PDF or HTML metadata, without
2150+ including a title block in the document itself, you can
2151+ set the `title-meta`, `author-meta`, and `date-meta`
2152+ variables. (By default these are set automatically, based
2153+ on `title`, `author`, and `date`.) The page title in HTML
2154+ is set by `pagetitle`, which is equal to `title` by default.
2157+: document subtitle, included in HTML, EPUB, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and docx
2161+: document summary, included in LaTeX, ConTeXt, AsciiDoc, and docx
2165+: list of keywords to be included in HTML, PDF, ODT, pptx, docx
2166+ and AsciiDoc metadata; repeat as for `author`, above
2169+: document subject, included in ODT, PDF, docx and pptx metadata
2172+: document description, included in ODT, docx and pptx metadata. Some
2173+ applications show this as `Comments` metadata.
2176+: document category, included in docx and pptx metadata
2179+any root-level string metadata, not included in ODT, docx
2180+or pptx metadata is added as a *custom property*.
2181+The following [YAML] metadata block for instance:
2184+ title: 'This is the title'
2185+ subtitle: "This is the subtitle"
2193+ It consists of two paragraphs
2196+will include `title`, `author` and `description` as standard document
2197+properties and `subtitle` as a custom property when converting to docx,
2200+### Language variables
2203+: identifies the main language of the document using IETF language
2204+ tags (following the [BCP 47] standard), such as `en` or `en-GB`.
2205+ The [Language subtag lookup] tool can look up or verify these tags.
2206+ This affects most formats, and controls hyphenation in PDF output
2207+ when using LaTeX (through [`babel`] and [`polyglossia`]) or ConTeXt.
2209+ Use native pandoc [Divs and Spans] with the `lang` attribute to
2210+ switch the language:
2216+ Text in the main document language (British English).
2219+ > Cette citation est écrite en français canadien.
2222+ More text in English. ['Zitat auf Deutsch.']{lang=de}
2225+: the base script direction, either `rtl` (right-to-left)
2226+ or `ltr` (left-to-right).
2228+ For bidirectional documents, native pandoc `span`s and
2229+ `div`s with the `dir` attribute (value `rtl` or `ltr`) can
2230+ be used to override the base direction in some output
2231+ formats. This may not always be necessary if the final
2232+ renderer (e.g. the browser, when generating HTML) supports
2233+ the [Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm].
2235+ When using LaTeX for bidirectional documents, only the
2236+ `xelatex` engine is fully supported (use
2237+ `--pdf-engine=xelatex`).

2243+### Variables for HTML
2246+: Enables inclusion of most of the [CSS] in the `styles.html`
2247+ [partial](#partials) (have a look with
2248+ `pandoc --print-default-data-file=templates/styles.html`).
2249+ Unless you use [`--css`](#option--css), this variable
2250+ is set to `true` by default. You can disable it with
2251+ e.g. `pandoc -M document-css=false`.
2254+: sets the CSS `font-family` property on the `html` element.
2257+: sets the base CSS `font-size`, which you'd usually set
2258+ to e.g. `20px`, but it also accepts `pt`
2259+ (12pt = 16px in most browsers).
2262+: sets the CSS `color` property on the `html` element.
2265+: sets the CSS `color` property on all links.
2268+: sets the CSS `font-family` property on `code` elements.
2270+`monobackgroundcolor`
2271+: sets the CSS `background-color` property on `code` elements
2272+ and adds extra padding.
2275+: sets the CSS `line-height` property on the `html` element,
2276+ which is preferred to be unitless.
2279+: sets the CSS `background-color` property on the `html` element.
2281+`margin-left`, `margin-right`, `margin-top`, `margin-bottom`
2282+: sets the corresponding CSS `padding` properties on the `body` element.
2284+To override or extend some [CSS] for just one document, include for example:
2290+ font-style: italic;
2293+ background-color: #f0f0f0;
2296+ padding: 0.5em 2em 0.5em 0.5em;
2299+ border-bottom: none;
2304+[CSS]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS
2306+### Variables for HTML math
2309+: when using [KaTeX](#option--katex), you can render display
2310+math equations flush left using [YAML metadata](#layout) or with
2311+`-M classoption=fleqn`.
2313+### Variables for HTML slides
2315+These affect HTML output when [producing slide shows with pandoc].
2318+: author affiliations: can be a list when there are multiple authors
2321+: base URL for reveal.js documents (defaults to
2322+ `https://unpkg.com/reveal.js@^4/`)
2325+: base URL for S5 documents (defaults to `s5/default`)
2328+: base URL for Slidy documents (defaults to
2329+ `https://www.w3.org/Talks/Tools/Slidy2`)
2332+: base URL for Slideous documents (defaults to `slideous`)
2334+`title-slide-attributes`
2335+: additional attributes for the title slide of reveal.js slide shows.
2336+ See [background in reveal.js and beamer] for an example.
2338+All [reveal.js configuration options] are available as variables.
2339+To turn off boolean flags that default to true in reveal.js, use `0`.

2343+### Variables for Beamer slides
2345+These variables change the appearance of PDF slides using [`beamer`].
2348+: slide aspect ratio (`43` for 4:3 [default], `169` for 16:9,
2349+ `1610` for 16:10, `149` for 14:9, `141` for 1.41:1, `54` for 5:4,

2380+### Variables for PowerPoint
2382+These variables control the visual aspects of a slide show that
2383+are not easily controlled via templates.
2386+: font to use for code.
2388+### Variables for LaTeX
2390+Pandoc uses these variables when [creating a PDF] with a LaTeX engine.
2395+: make `\paragraph` and `\subparagraph` (fourth- and
2396+ fifth-level headings, or fifth- and sixth-level with book
2397+ classes) free-standing rather than run-in; requires further
2398+ formatting to distinguish from `\subsubsection` (third- or
2399+ fourth-level headings). Instead of using this option,
2400+ [KOMA-Script] can adjust headings more extensively:
2403+ documentclass: scrartcl
2405+ \RedeclareSectionCommand[
2406+ beforeskip=-10pt plus -2pt minus -1pt,
2407+ afterskip=1sp plus -1sp minus 1sp,

2411+ afterskip=1sp plus -1sp minus 1sp,
2412+ font=\normalfont\scshape,
2413+ indent=0pt]{subparagraph}
2417+: option for document class, e.g. `oneside`; repeat for multiple options:
2426+: document class: usually one of the standard classes,
2427+ [`article`], [`book`], and [`report`]; the [KOMA-Script]
2428+ equivalents, `scrartcl`, `scrbook`, and `scrreprt`, which
2429+ default to smaller margins; or [`memoir`]
2432+: option for [`geometry`] package, e.g. `margin=1in`;
2433+ repeat for multiple options:
2443+: option for [`hyperref`] package, e.g. `linktoc=all`;
2444+ repeat for multiple options:
2450+ - pdfpagemode=FullScreen
2454+: if true, pandoc will use document class settings for
2455+ indentation (the default LaTeX template otherwise removes
2456+ indentation and adds space between paragraphs)
2459+: adjusts line spacing using the [`setspace`]
2460+ package, e.g. `1.25`, `1.5`
2462+`margin-left`, `margin-right`, `margin-top`, `margin-bottom`
2463+: sets margins if `geometry` is not used (otherwise `geometry`
2467+: control `\pagestyle{}`: the default article class
2468+ supports `plain` (default), `empty` (no running heads or page numbers),
2469+ and `headings` (section titles in running heads)
2472+: paper size, e.g. `letter`, `a4`
2475+: numbering depth for sections (with `--number-sections` option
2476+ or `numbersections` variable)
2481+: allows font encoding to be specified through `fontenc` package (with
2482+ `pdflatex`); default is `T1` (see [LaTeX font encodings guide])
2485+: font package for use with `pdflatex`:
2486+ [TeX Live] includes many options, documented in the [LaTeX Font Catalogue].
2487+ The default is [Latin Modern][`lm`].
2490+: options for package used as `fontfamily`; repeat for multiple options.
2491+ For example, to use the Libertine font with proportional lowercase
2492+ (old-style) figures through the [`libertinus`] package:
2495+ fontfamily: libertinus
2502+: font size for body text. The standard classes allow 10pt, 11pt, and
2503+ 12pt. To use another size, set `documentclass` to one of
2504+ the [KOMA-Script] classes, such as `scrartcl` or `scrbook`.
2506+`mainfont`, `sansfont`, `monofont`, `mathfont`, `CJKmainfont`
2507+: font families for use with `xelatex` or
2508+ `lualatex`: take the name of any system font, using the
2509+ [`fontspec`] package. `CJKmainfont` uses the [`xecjk`] package.
2511+`mainfontoptions`, `sansfontoptions`, `monofontoptions`, `mathfontoptions`, `CJKoptions`
2512+: options to use with `mainfont`, `sansfont`, `monofont`, `mathfont`,
2513+ `CJKmainfont` in `xelatex` and `lualatex`. Allow for any
2514+ choices available through [`fontspec`]; repeat for multiple
2515+ options. For example, to use the [TeX Gyre] version of
2516+ Palatino with lowercase figures:
2519+ mainfont: TeX Gyre Pagella
2521+ - Numbers=Lowercase
2522+ - Numbers=Proportional
2526+: options to pass to the microtype package

5065example, `markdown+hard_line_breaks` is Markdown with hard line breaks.
5067+#### Extension: `rebase_relative_paths` ####
5069+Rewrite relative paths for Markdown links and images, depending
5070+on the path of the file containing the link or image link. For
5071+each link or image, pandoc will compute the directory of the
5072+containing file, relative to the working directory, and prepend
5073+the resulting path to the link or image path.
5075+The use of this extension is best understood by example.
5076+Suppose you have a a subdirectory for each chapter of a book,
5077+`chap1`, `chap2`, `chap3`. Each contains a file `text.md` and a
5078+number of images used in the chapter. You would like to have
5079+`` in `chap1/text.md` refer to
5080+`chap1/spider.jpg` and `` in `chap2/text.md`
5081+refer to `chap2/spider.jpg`. To do this, use
5083+ pandoc chap*/*.md -f markdown+rebase_relative_paths
5085+Without this extension, you would have to use
5086+`` in `chap1/text.md` and
5087+`` in `chap2/text.md`. Links with
5088+relative paths will be rewritten in the same way as images.
5090+Absolute paths and URLs are not changed. Neither are empty
5091+paths or paths consisting entirely of a fragment, e.g., `#foo`.
5093+Note that relative paths in reference links and images will
5094+be rewritten relative to the file containing the link
5095+reference definition, not the file containing the reference link
5096+or image itself, if these differ.
5098+#### Extension: `attributes` ####
5100+Allows attributes to be attached to any inline or block-level
5101+element. The syntax for the attributes is the same as that
5102+used in [`header_attributes`][Extension: `header_attributes`].
5104+- Attributes that occur immediately after an inline
5105+ element affect that element. If they follow a space, then they
5106+ belong to the space. (Hence, this option subsumes
5107+ `inline_code_attributes` and `link_attributes`.)
5108+- Attributes that occur immediately before a block
5109+ element, on a line by themselves, affect that
5111+- Consecutive attribute specifiers may be used,
5112+ either for blocks or for inlines. Their attributes
5114+- Attributes that occur at the end of the text of
5115+ a Setext or ATX heading (separated by whitespace
5116+ from the text) affect the heading element. (Hence, this
5117+ option subsumes `header_attributes`.)
5118+- Attributes that occur after the opening fence
5119+ in a fenced code block affect the code block element. (Hence,
5120+ this option subsumes `fenced_code_attributes`.)
5121+- Attributes that occur at the end of a reference
5122+ link definition affect links that refer to that
5125+Note that pandoc's AST does not currently allow attributes
5126+to be attached to arbitrary elements. Hence a Span or Div

4088−Producing slide shows with pandoc
5318+
4089−=================================
5319+When the `--citeproc` option is used, pandoc can automatically generate
5320+citations and a bibliography in a number of styles. Basic usage is
5322+ pandoc --citeproc myinput.txt
5324+To use this feature, you will need to have
5326+- a document containing citations (see [Extension: `citations`]);
5327+- a source of bibliographic data: either an external bibliography
5328+ file or a list of `references` in the document's YAML metadata
5329+- optionally, a [CSL] citation style.
5331+## Specifying bibliographic data
5333+You can specify an external bibliography using the
5334+`bibliography` metadata field in a YAML metadata section or the
5335+`--bibliography` command line argument. If you want to use
5336+multiple bibliography files, you can supply multiple
5337+`--bibliography` arguments or set `bibliography` metadata field
5338+to YAML array. A bibliography may have any of these formats:
5340+ Format File extension
5341+ ------------ --------------
5347+Note that `.bib` can be used with both BibTeX and BibLaTeX files;
5348+use the extension `.bibtex` to force interpretation as BibTeX.
5350+In BibTeX and BibLaTeX databases, pandoc parses LaTeX markup
5351+inside fields such as `title`; in CSL YAML databases, pandoc
5352+Markdown; and in CSL JSON databases, an [HTML-like markup][CSL
5361+`<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">...</span>` or `<sc>...</sc>`
5370+`<span class="nocase">...</span>`
5371+: prevent a phrase from being capitalized as title case
5373+As an alternative to specifying a bibliography file using
5374+`--bibliography` or the YAML metadata field `bibliography`, you
5375+can include the citation data directly in the `references` field
5376+of the document's YAML metadata. The field should contain an
5377+array of YAML-encoded references, for example:
5381+ - type: article-journal
5382+ id: WatsonCrick1953
5393+ title: 'Molecular structure of nucleic acids: a structure for
5394+ deoxyribose nucleic acid'
5395+ title-short: Molecular structure of nucleic acids
5396+ container-title: Nature
5400+ DOI: 10.1038/171737a0
5401+ URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/171737a0
5405+If both an external bibliography and inline (YAML metadata)
5406+references are provided, both will be used. In case of
5407+conflicting `id`s, the inline references will take precedence.
5409+Note that `pandoc` can be used to produce such a YAML metadata
5410+section from a BibTeX, BibLaTeX, or CSL JSON bibliography:
5412+ pandoc chem.bib -s -f biblatex -t markdown
5413+ pandoc chem.json -s -f csljson -t markdown
5415+Indeed, `pandoc` can convert between any of these
5418+ pandoc chem.bib -s -f biblatex -t csljson
5419+ pandoc chem.yaml -s -f markdown -t biblatex
5421+Running pandoc on a bibliography file with the `--citeproc`
5422+option will create a formatted bibliography in the format
5425+ pandoc chem.bib -s --citeproc -o chem.html
5426+ pandoc chem.bib -s --citeproc -o chem.pdf
5428+### Capitalization in titles
5430+If you are using a bibtex or biblatex bibliography, then observe
5431+the following rules:
5433+ - English titles should be in title case. Non-English titles should
5434+ be in sentence case, and the `langid` field in biblatex should be
5435+ set to the relevant language. (The following values are treated
5436+ as English: `american`, `british`, `canadian`, `english`,
5437+ `australian`, `newzealand`, `USenglish`, or `UKenglish`.)
5439+ - As is standard with bibtex/biblatex, proper names should be
5440+ protected with curly braces so that they won't be lowercased
5441+ in styles that call for sentence case. For example:
5443+ title = {My Dinner with {Andre}}
5445+ - In addition, words that should remain lowercase (or camelCase)
5446+ should be protected:
5448+ title = {Spin Wave Dispersion on the {nm} Scale}
5450+ Though this is not necessary in bibtex/biblatex, it is necessary
5451+ with citeproc, which stores titles internally in sentence case,
5452+ and converts to title case in styles that require it. Here we
5453+ protect "nm" so that it doesn't get converted to "Nm" at this stage.
5455+If you are using a CSL bibliography (either JSON or YAML), then observe
5456+the following rules:
5458+ - All titles should be in sentence case.
5460+ - Use the `language` field for non-English titles to prevent their
5461+ conversion to title case in styles that call for this. (Conversion
5462+ happens only if `language` begins with `en` or is left empty.)
5464+ - Protect words that should not be converted to title case using
5467+ Spin wave dispersion on the <span class="nocase">nm</span> scale
5469+### Conference Papers, Published vs. Unpublished
5471+For a formally published conference paper, use the biblatex entry type
5472+`inproceedings` (which will be mapped to CSL `paper-conference`).
5474+For an unpublished manuscript, use the biblatex entry type
5475+`unpublished` without an `eventtitle` field (this entry type
5476+will be mapped to CSL `manuscript`).
5478+For a talk, an unpublished conference paper, or a poster
5479+presentation, use the biblatex entry type `unpublished` with an
5480+`eventtitle` field (this entry type will be mapped to CSL
5481+`speech`). Use the biblatex `type` field to indicate the type,
5482+e.g. "Paper", or "Poster". `venue` and `eventdate` may be useful
5483+too, though `eventdate` will not be rendered by most CSL styles.
5484+Note that `venue` is for the event's venue, unlike `location`
5485+which describes the publisher's location; do not use the latter
5486+for an unpublished conference paper.
5489+## Specifying a citation style
5491+Citations and references can be formatted using any style supported by the
5492+[Citation Style Language], listed in the [Zotero Style Repository].
5493+These files are specified using the `--csl` option or the `csl`
5494+(or `citation-style`) metadata field. By default, pandoc will
5495+use the [Chicago Manual of Style] author-date format. (You can
5496+override this default by copying a CSL style of your choice
5497+to `default.csl` in your user data directory.)
5498+The CSL project provides further information on [finding and
5501+The `--citation-abbreviations` option (or the
5502+`citation-abbreviations` metadata field) may be used to specify
5503+a JSON file containing abbreviations of journals that should be
5504+used in formatted bibliographies when `form="short"` is
5505+specified. The format of the file can be illustrated with an
5510+ "container-title": {
5511+ "Lloyd's Law Reports": "Lloyd's Rep",
5512+ "Estates Gazette": "EG",
5513+ "Scots Law Times": "SLT"
5519+## Citations in note styles
5521+Pandoc's citation processing is designed to allow you to
5522+move between author-date, numerical, and note styles without
5523+modifying the markdown source. When you're using a note
5524+style, avoid inserting footnotes manually. Instead, insert
5525+citations just as you would in an author-date style---for
5528+ Blah blah [@foo, p. 33].
5530+The footnote will be created automatically. Pandoc will take
5531+care of removing the space and moving the note before or
5532+after the period, depending on the setting of
5533+`notes-after-punctuation`, as described below in [Other relevant
5536+In some cases you may need to put a citation inside a regular
5537+footnote. Normal citations in footnotes (such as `[@foo, p.
5538+33]`) will be rendered in parentheses. In-text citations (such
5539+as `@foo [p. 33]`) will be rendered without parentheses. (A
5540+comma will be added if appropriate.) Thus:
5542+ [^1]: Some studies [@foo; @bar, p. 33] show that
5543+ frubulicious zoosnaps are quantical. For a survey
5544+ of the literature, see @baz [chap. 1].
5546+## Raw content in a style
5548+To include raw content in a prefix, suffix, delimiter, or term,
5549+surround it with these tags indicating the format:
5551+ {{jats}}<ref>{{/jats}}
5553+Without the tags, the string will be interpreted as a string
5554+and escaped in the output, rather than being passed through raw.
5556+This feature allows stylesheets to be customized to give
5557+different output for different output formats. However,
5558+stylesheets customized in this way will not be usable
5559+by other CSL implementations.
5563+## Placement of the bibliography
5565+If the style calls for a list of works cited, it will be placed
5566+in a div with id `refs`, if one exists:
5571+Otherwise, it will be placed at the end of the document.
5572+Generation of the bibliography can be suppressed by setting
5573+`suppress-bibliography: true` in the YAML metadata.
5575+If you wish the bibliography to have a section heading, you can
5576+set `reference-section-title` in the metadata, or put the heading
5577+at the beginning of the div with id `refs` (if you are using it)
5578+or at the end of your document:
5584+The bibliography will be inserted after this heading. Note that
5585+the `unnumbered` class will be added to this heading, so that the
5586+section will not be numbered.
5588+## Including uncited items in the bibliography
5590+If you want to include items in the bibliography without actually
5591+citing them in the body text, you can define a dummy `nocite` metadata
5592+field and put the citations there:
5601+In this example, the document will contain a citation for `item3`
5602+only, but the bibliography will contain entries for `item1`, `item2`, and
5605+It is possible to create a bibliography with all the citations,
5606+whether or not they appear in the document, by using a wildcard:
5613+For LaTeX output, you can also use [`natbib`] or [`biblatex`] to
5614+render the bibliography. In order to do so, specify bibliography
5615+files as outlined above, and add `--natbib` or `--biblatex`
5616+argument to `pandoc` invocation. Bear in mind that bibliography
5617+files have to be in either BibTeX (for `--natbib`)
5618+or BibLaTeX (for `--biblatex`) format.
5620+## Other relevant metadata fields
5622+A few other metadata fields affect bibliography formatting:
5625+: If true, citations will be
5626+ hyperlinked to the corresponding bibliography entries
5627+ (for author-date and numerical styles only).
5630+: The `lang` field will affect how the style is localized,
5631+ for example in the translation of labels, the use
5632+ of quotation marks, and the way items are sorted.
5633+ (For backwards compatibility, `locale` may be used instead
5634+ of `lang`, but this use is deprecated.)
5636+ A BCP 47 language tag is expected: for example, `en`,
5637+ `de`, `en-US`, `fr-CA`, `ug-Cyrl`. The unicode extension
5638+ syntax (after `-u-`) may be used to specify options for
5639+ collation (sorting) more precisely. Here are some examples:
5641+ - `zh-u-co-pinyin` -- Chinese with the Pinyin collation.
5642+ - `es-u-co-trad` -- Spanish with the traditional collation
5643+ (with `Ch` sorting after `C`).
5644+ - `fr-u-kb` -- French with "backwards" accent sorting
5645+ (with `coté` sorting after `côte`).
5646+ - `en-US-u-kf-upper` -- English with uppercase letters sorting
5647+ before lower (default is lower before upper).
5649+`notes-after-punctuation`
5650+: If true (the default), pandoc will put footnote citations
5651+ after following punctuation. For example, if the source
5652+ contains `blah blah [@jones99].`, the result will look like
5653+ `blah blah.[^1]`, with the note moved after the period and
5654+ the space collapsed. If false, the space will still be
5655+ collapsed, but the footnote will not be moved after the

6182+When creating a [Jupyter notebook], pandoc will try to infer the
6183+notebook structure. Code blocks with the class `code` will be
6184+taken as code cells, and intervening content will be taken as
6185+Markdown cells. Attachments will automatically be created for
6186+images in Markdown cells. Metadata will be taken from the
6187+`jupyter` metadata field. For example:
6196+ display_name: Python 2
6203+ file_extension: ".py"
6204+ mimetype: "text/x-python"
6206+ nbconvert_exporter: "python"
6207+ pygments_lexer: "ipython2"

6223+from IPython.display import HTML
6226+console.log("hello");
6234+This image  will be
6235+included as a cell attachment.
6238+If you want to add cell attributes, group cells differently, or
6239+add output to code cells, then you need to include divs to
6240+indicate the structure. You can use either [fenced
6241+divs][Extension: `fenced_divs`] or [native divs][Extension:
6242+`native_divs`] for this. Here is an example:
6245+:::::: {.cell .markdown}
6248+**Lorem ipsum** dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc luctus
6249+bibendum felis dictum sodales.
6252+:::::: {.cell .code execution_count=1}
6257+::: {.output .stream .stdout}
6264+:::::: {.cell .code execution_count=2}
6266+from IPython.display import HTML
6269+console.log("hello");
6275+::: {.output .execute_result execution_count=2}
6278+console.log("hello");
6287+If you include raw HTML or TeX in an output cell, use the
6288+[raw attribute][Extension: `fenced_attribute`], as shown
6289+in the last cell of the example above. Although pandoc can
6290+process "bare" raw HTML and TeX, the result is often
6291+interspersed raw elements and normal textual elements, and
6292+in an output cell pandoc expects a single, connected raw
6293+block. To avoid using raw HTML or TeX except when
6294+marked explicitly using raw attributes, we recommend
6295+specifying the extensions `-raw_html-raw_tex+raw_attribute` when
6296+translating between Markdown and ipynb notebooks.
6298+Note that options and extensions that affect reading and
6299+writing of Markdown will also affect Markdown cells in ipynb
6300+notebooks. For example, `--wrap=preserve` will preserve
6301+soft line breaks in Markdown cells; `--atx-headers` will
6302+cause ATX-style headings to be used; and `--preserve-tabs` will

6464+# Reproducible builds
6466+Some of the document formats pandoc targets (such as EPUB,
6467+docx, and ODT) include build timestamps in the generated document.
6468+That means that the files generated on successive builds will
6469+differ, even if the source does not. To avoid this, set the
6470+`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable, and the timestamp will
6471+be taken from it instead of the current time.
6472+`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` should contain an integer unix timestamp
6473+(specifying the number of second since midnight UTC January 1, 1970).
6475+Some document formats also include a unique identifier. For
6476+EPUB, this can be set explicitly by setting the `identifier`
6477+metadata field (see [EPUB Metadata], above).
6479+# A note on security
6481+If you use pandoc to convert user-contributed content in a web
6482+application, here are some things to keep in mind:
6484+1. Although pandoc itself will not create or modify any files other
6485+ than those you explicitly ask it create (with the exception
6486+ of temporary files used in producing PDFs), a filter or custom
6487+ writer could in principle do anything on your file system. Please
6488+ audit filters and custom writers very carefully before using them.
6490+2. If your application uses pandoc as a Haskell library (rather than
6491+ shelling out to the executable), it is possible to use it in a mode
6492+ that fully isolates pandoc from your file system, by running the
6493+ pandoc operations in the `PandocPure` monad. See the document
6494+ [Using the pandoc API](https://pandoc.org/using-the-pandoc-api.html)
6497+3. Pandoc's parsers can exhibit pathological performance on some
6498+ corner cases. It is wise to put any pandoc operations under
6499+ a timeout, to avoid DOS attacks that exploit these issues.
6500+ If you are using the pandoc executable, you can add the
6501+ command line options `+RTS -M512M -RTS` (for example) to limit
6502+ the heap size to 512MB.
6504+4. The HTML generated by pandoc is not guaranteed to be safe.
6505+ If `raw_html` is enabled for the Markdown input, users can
6506+ inject arbitrary HTML. Even if `raw_html` is disabled,
6507+ users can include dangerous content in URLs and attributes.
6508+ To be safe, you should run all the generated HTML through
