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`).

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,

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)

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
1627`fontsize`
2501`fontsize`
1628−: font size for body text (e.g. `10pt`, `12pt`)

4811+Attributes can be set on links and images:
4813+ An inline {#id .class width=30 height=20px}
4814+ and a reference ![image][ref] with attributes.
4816+ [ref]: foo.jpg "optional title" {#id .class key=val key2="val 2"}
4818+(This syntax is compatible with [PHP Markdown Extra] when only `#id`
4819+and `.class` are used.)
4821+For HTML and EPUB, all known HTML5 attributes except `width` and
4822+`height` (but including `srcset` and `sizes`) are passed through
4823+as is. Unknown attributes are passed through as custom
4824+attributes, with `data-` prepended. The other writers ignore
4825+attributes that are not specifically supported by their output format.
4827+The `width` and `height` attributes on images are treated specially. When
4828+used without a unit, the unit is assumed to be pixels. However, any of
4829+the following unit identifiers can be used: `px`, `cm`, `mm`, `in`, `inch`
4830+and `%`. There must not be any spaces between the number and the unit.
4834+{ width=50% }
4837+- Dimensions may be converted to a form that is compatible with
4838+ the output format (for example, dimensions given in pixels will
4839+ be converted to inches when converting HTML to LaTeX). Conversion
4840+ between pixels and physical measurements is affected by the
4841+ `--dpi` option (by default, 96 dpi is assumed, unless the image
4842+ itself contains dpi information).
4843+- The `%` unit is generally relative to some available space.
4844+ For example the above example will render to the following.
4845+ - HTML: `<img href="file.jpg" style="width: 50%;" />`
4846+ - LaTeX: `\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth,height=\textheight]{file.jpg}`
4847+ (If you're using a custom template, you need to configure `graphicx`
4848+ as in the default template.)
4849+ - ConTeXt: `\externalfigure[file.jpg][width=0.5\textwidth]`
4850+- Some output formats have a notion of a class
4851+ ([ConTeXt](https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Using_Graphics#Multiple_Image_Settings))
4852+ or a unique identifier (LaTeX `\caption`), or both (HTML).

4859+Using the `native_divs` and `native_spans` extensions
4860+(see [above][Extension: `native_divs`]), HTML syntax can
4861+be used as part of markdown to create native `Div` and `Span`
4862+elements in the pandoc AST (as opposed to raw HTML).
4863+However, there is also nicer syntax available:
4865+#### Extension: `fenced_divs` ####
4867+Allow special fenced syntax for native `Div` blocks. A Div
4868+starts with a fence containing at least three consecutive
4869+colons plus some attributes. The attributes may optionally
4870+be followed by another string of consecutive colons.
4871+The attribute syntax is exactly as in fenced code blocks (see
4872+[Extension: `fenced_code_attributes`]). As with fenced
4873+code blocks, one can use either attributes in curly braces
4874+or a single unbraced word, which will be treated as a class
4875+name. The Div ends with another line containing a string of at
4876+least three consecutive colons. The fenced Div should be
4877+separated by blank lines from preceding and following blocks.
4881+ ::::: {#special .sidebar}
4882+ Here is a paragraph.
4887+Fenced divs can be nested. Opening fences are distinguished
4888+because they *must* have attributes:
4894+ This is a warning within a warning.
4898+Fences without attributes are always closing fences. Unlike
4899+with fenced code blocks, the number of colons in the closing
4900+fence need not match the number in the opening fence. However,
4901+it can be helpful for visual clarity to use fences of different
4902+lengths to distinguish nested divs from their parents.
4905+#### Extension: `bracketed_spans` ####
4907+A bracketed sequence of inlines, as one would use to begin
4908+a link, will be treated as a `Span` with attributes if it is
4909+followed immediately by attributes:
4911+ [This is *some text*]{.class key="val"}
4915+#### Extension: `footnotes` ####
4917+Pandoc's Markdown allows footnotes, using the following syntax:
4919+ Here is a footnote reference,[^1] and another.[^longnote]
4921+ [^1]: Here is the footnote.
4923+ [^longnote]: Here's one with multiple blocks.
4925+ Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they
4926+ belong to the previous footnote.
4930+ The whole paragraph can be indented, or just the first
4931+ line. In this way, multi-paragraph footnotes work like
4932+ multi-paragraph list items.
4934+ This paragraph won't be part of the note, because it
4937+The identifiers in footnote references may not contain spaces, tabs,
4938+or newlines. These identifiers are used only to correlate the
4939+footnote reference with the note itself; in the output, footnotes
4940+will be numbered sequentially.
4942+The footnotes themselves need not be placed at the end of the
4943+document. They may appear anywhere except inside other block elements
4944+(lists, block quotes, tables, etc.). Each footnote should be
4945+separated from surrounding content (including other footnotes)
4948+#### Extension: `inline_notes` ####
4950+Inline footnotes are also allowed (though, unlike regular notes,
4951+they cannot contain multiple paragraphs). The syntax is as follows:
4953+ Here is an inline note.^[Inlines notes are easier to write, since
4954+ you don't have to pick an identifier and move down to type the
4957+Inline and regular footnotes may be mixed freely.
4961+#### Extension: `citations` ####
4963+To cite a bibliographic item with an identifier foo, use the
4964+syntax `@foo`. Normal citations should be included in square
4965+brackets, with semicolons separating distinct items:
4967+ Blah blah [@doe99; @smith2000; @smith2004].
4969+How this is rendered depends on the citation style. In an
4970+author-date style, it might render as
4972+ Blah blah (Doe 1999, Smith 2000, 2004).
4974+In a footnote style, it might render as
4978+ [^1]: John Doe, "Frogs," *Journal of Amphibians* 44 (1999);
4979+ Susan Smith, "Flies," *Journal of Insects* (2000);
4980+ Susan Smith, "Bees," *Journal of Insects* (2004).
4982+See the [CSL user documentation] for more information about CSL
4983+styles and how they affect rendering.
4985+Unless a citation key start with a letter, digit, or `_`,
4986+and contains only alphanumerics and internal punctuation
4987+characters (`:.#$%&-+?<>~/`), it must be surrounded
4988+by curly braces, which are not considered part of the key.
4989+In `@Foo_bar.baz.`, the key is `Foo_bar.baz`. The final
4990+period is not *internal* punctuation, so it is not included in
4991+the key. In `@{Foo_bar.baz.}`, the key is `Foo_bar.baz.`, including
4992+the final period. The curly braces are recommended if you use URLs as
4993+keys: `[@{https://example.com/bib?name=foobar&date=2000}, p. 33]`.
4995+Citation items may optionally include a prefix, a locator, and
4998+ Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35 and *passim*; @smith04, chap. 1].
5000+The first item (`doe99`) has prefix `see `, locator `pp. 33-35`,
5001+and suffix `and *passim*`. The second item (`smith04`) has
5002+locator `chap. 1` and no prefix or suffix.
5004+Pandoc uses some heuristics to separate the locator from the
5005+rest of the subject. It is sensitive to the locator terms
5006+defined in the [CSL locale files]. Either abbreviated or
5007+unabbreviated forms are accepted. In the `en-US` locale, locator
5008+terms can be written in either singular or plural forms, as
5009+`book`, `bk.`/`bks.`; `chapter`, `chap.`/`chaps.`; `column`,
5010+`col.`/`cols.`; `figure`, `fig.`/`figs.`; `folio`,
5011+`fol.`/`fols.`; `number`, `no.`/`nos.`; `line`, `l.`/`ll.`;
5012+`note`, `n.`/`nn.`; `opus`, `op.`/`opp.`; `page`, `p.`/`pp.`;
5013+`paragraph`, `para.`/`paras.`; `part`, `pt.`/`pts.`; `section`,
5014+`sec.`/`secs.`; `sub verbo`, `s.v.`/`s.vv.`; `verse`,
5015+`v.`/`vv.`; `volume`, `vol.`/`vols.`; `¶`/`¶¶`; `§`/`§§`. If no
5016+locator term is used, "page" is assumed.
5018+In complex cases, you can force something to be treated as
5019+a locator by enclosing it in curly braces or prevent parsing
5020+the suffix as locator by prepending curly braces:
5022+ [@smith{ii, A, D-Z}, with a suffix]
5023+ [@smith, {pp. iv, vi-xi, (xv)-(xvii)} with suffix here]
5024+ [@smith{}, 99 years later]
5026+A minus sign (`-`) before the `@` will suppress mention of
5027+the author in the citation. This can be useful when the
5028+author is already mentioned in the text:
5030+ Smith says blah [-@smith04].
5032+You can also write an author-in-text citation, by omitting the
5035+ @smith04 says blah.
5037+ @smith04 [p. 33] says blah.
5039+This will cause the author's name to be rendered, followed by
5040+the bibliographical details. Use this form when you want to
5041+make the citation the subject of a sentence.
5043+When you are using a note style, it is usually better to let
5044+citeproc create the footnotes from citations rather than writing
5045+an explicit note. If you do write an explicit note that
5046+contains a citation, note that normal citations will be put in
5047+parentheses, while author-in-text citations will not. For
5048+this reason, it is sometimes preferable to use the
5049+author-in-text style inside notes when using a note style.

5060+## Non-default extensions
5062+The following Markdown syntax extensions are not enabled by default
5063+in pandoc, but may be enabled by adding `+EXTENSION` to the format
5064+name, where `EXTENSION` is the name of the extension. Thus, for
5065+example, `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
5127+container will be added if needed.
5129+#### Extension: `old_dashes` ####
5131+Selects the pandoc <= 1.8.2.1 behavior for parsing smart dashes:
5132+`-` before a numeral is an en-dash, and `--` is an em-dash.
5133+This option only has an effect if `smart` is enabled. It is
5134+selected automatically for `textile` input.
5136+#### Extension: `angle_brackets_escapable` ####
5138+Allow `<` and `>` to be backslash-escaped, as they can be in
5139+GitHub flavored Markdown but not original Markdown. This is
5140+implied by pandoc's default `all_symbols_escapable`.
5142+#### Extension: `lists_without_preceding_blankline` ####
5144+Allow a list to occur right after a paragraph, with no intervening
5147+#### Extension: `four_space_rule` ####
5149+Selects the pandoc <= 2.0 behavior for parsing lists, so that
5150+four spaces indent are needed for list item continuation

4766−Custom Styles in Docx
6341+# Custom Styles
4767−=====================
6342+
6343+Custom styles can be used in the docx and ICML formats.
6347+By default, pandoc's docx and ICML output applies a predefined set of styles
6348+for blocks such as paragraphs and block quotes, and uses largely default
6349+formatting (italics, bold) for inlines. This will work for most
6350+purposes, especially alongside a `reference.docx` file. However, if you
6351+need to apply your own styles to blocks, or match a preexisting set of
6352+styles, pandoc allows you to define custom styles for blocks and text
6353+using `div`s and `span`s, respectively.
6355+If you define a `div` or `span` with the attribute `custom-style`,
6356+pandoc will apply your specified style to the contained elements (with
6357+the exception of elements whose function depends on a style, like
6358+headings, code blocks, block quotes, or links). So, for example, using
6359+the `bracketed_spans` syntax,
6361+ [Get out]{custom-style="Emphatically"}, he said.
6363+would produce a docx file with "Get out" styled with character
6364+style `Emphatically`. Similarly, using the `fenced_divs` syntax,

6369+ | A Bird came down the Walk---
6370+ | He did not know I saw---
6373+would style the two contained lines with the `Poetry` paragraph style.
6375+For docx output, styles will be defined in the output file as inheriting
6376+from normal text, if the styles are not yet in your reference.docx.
6377+If they are already defined, pandoc will not alter the definition.
6379+This feature allows for greatest customization in conjunction with
6380+[pandoc filters]. If you want all paragraphs after block quotes to be
6381+indented, you can write a filter to apply the styles necessary. If you
6382+want all italics to be transformed to the `Emphasis` character style
6383+(perhaps to change their color), you can write a filter which will
6384+transform all italicized inlines to inlines within an `Emphasis`

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).
