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

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*.

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

2802−The behavior of some of the readers and writers can be adjusted by
2803−enabling or disabling various extensions.
2805−An extension can be enabled by adding `+EXTENSION`
2806−to the format name and disabled by adding `-EXTENSION`. For example,
2807−`--from markdown_strict+footnotes` is strict Markdown with footnotes
2808−enabled, while `--from markdown-footnotes-pipe_tables` is pandoc's
2809−Markdown without footnotes or pipe tables.
2811−The markdown reader and writer make by far the most use of extensions.
2812−Extensions only used by them are therefore covered in the
2813−section [Pandoc's Markdown] below (See [Markdown variants] for
2814−`commonmark` and `gfm`.) In the following, extensions that also work
2815−for other formats are covered.
2817−Note that markdown extensions added to the `ipynb` format
2818−affect Markdown cells in Jupyter notebooks (as do command-line
2819−options like `--atx-headers`).
2823−#### Extension: `smart` ####
2825−Interpret straight quotes as curly quotes, `---` as em-dashes,
2826−`--` as en-dashes, and `...` as ellipses. Nonbreaking spaces are
2827−inserted after certain abbreviations, such as "Mr."
2829−This extension can be enabled/disabled for the following formats:
2832−: `markdown`, `commonmark`, `latex`, `mediawiki`, `org`, `rst`, `twiki`
2835−: `markdown`, `latex`, `context`, `rst`
2837−enabled by default in
2838−: `markdown`, `latex`, `context` (both input and output)
2840−Note: If you are *writing* Markdown, then the `smart` extension
2841−has the reverse effect: what would have been curly quotes comes
2844−In LaTeX, `smart` means to use the standard TeX ligatures
2845−for quotation marks (` `` ` and ` '' ` for double quotes,
2846−`` ` `` and `` ' `` for single quotes) and dashes (`--` for
2847−en-dash and `---` for em-dash). If `smart` is disabled,
2848−then in reading LaTeX pandoc will parse these characters
2849−literally. In writing LaTeX, enabling `smart` tells pandoc
2850−to use the ligatures when possible; if `smart` is disabled
2851−pandoc will use unicode quotation mark and dash characters.
2853−## Headings and sections
2855−#### Extension: `auto_identifiers` ####
2857−A heading without an explicitly specified identifier will be
2858−automatically assigned a unique identifier based on the heading text.
2860−This extension can be enabled/disabled for the following formats:
2863−: `markdown`, `latex`, `rst`, `mediawiki`, `textile`
2866−: `markdown`, `muse`

2876− - Remove all non-alphanumeric characters,
2877− except underscores, hyphens, and periods.
2878− - Replace all spaces and newlines with hyphens.
2879− - Convert all alphabetic characters to lowercase.
2880− - Remove everything up to the first letter (identifiers may
2881− not begin with a number or punctuation mark).
2882− - If nothing is left after this, use the identifier `section`.
2887− ------------------------------- ----------------------------
2888− `Heading identifiers in HTML` `heading-identifiers-in-html`
2889− `Maître d'hôtel` `maître-dhôtel`
2890− `*Dogs*?--in *my* house?` `dogs--in-my-house`
2891− `[HTML], [S5], or [RTF]?` `html-s5-or-rtf`
2892− `3. Applications` `applications`
2895−These rules should, in most cases, allow one to determine the identifier
2896−from the heading text. The exception is when several headings have the
2897−same text; in this case, the first will get an identifier as described
2898−above; the second will get the same identifier with `-1` appended; the
2899−third with `-2`; and so on.
2901−(However, a different algorithm is used if
2902−`gfm_auto_identifiers` is enabled; see below.)
2904−These identifiers are used to provide link targets in the table of
2905−contents generated by the `--toc|--table-of-contents` option. They
2906−also make it easy to provide links from one section of a document to
2907−another. A link to this section, for example, might look like this:
2910− [heading identifiers](#heading-identifiers-in-html-latex-and-context).
2912−Note, however, that this method of providing links to sections works
2913−only in HTML, LaTeX, and ConTeXt formats.
2915−If the `--section-divs` option is specified, then each section will
2916−be wrapped in a `section` (or a `div`, if `html4` was specified),
2917−and the identifier will be attached to the enclosing `<section>`
2918−(or `<div>`) tag rather than the heading itself. This allows entire
2919−sections to be manipulated using JavaScript or treated differently in
2922−#### Extension: `ascii_identifiers` ####
2924−Causes the identifiers produced by `auto_identifiers` to be pure ASCII.
2925−Accents are stripped off of accented Latin letters, and non-Latin
2926−letters are omitted.
2928−#### Extension: `gfm_auto_identifiers` ####
2930−Changes the algorithm used by `auto_identifiers` to conform to
2931−GitHub's method. Spaces are converted to dashes (`-`),
2932−uppercase characters to lowercase characters, and punctuation
2933−characters other than `-` and `_` are removed.
2934−Emojis are replaced by their names.
2938−The extensions [`tex_math_dollars`](#extension-tex_math_dollars),
2939−[`tex_math_single_backslash`](#extension-tex_math_single_backslash), and
2940−[`tex_math_double_backslash`](#extension-tex_math_double_backslash)
2941−are described in the section about Pandoc's Markdown.
2943−However, they can also be used with HTML input. This is handy for
2944−reading web pages formatted using MathJax, for example.
2948−The following extensions are described in more detail in
2949−their respective sections of [Pandoc's Markdown]:
2951−- [`raw_html`](#extension-raw_html) allows HTML elements which
2952− are not representable in pandoc's AST to be parsed as raw HTML.
2953− By default, this is disabled for HTML input.
2955−- [`raw_tex`](#extension-raw_tex) allows raw LaTeX, TeX, and ConTeXt
2956− to be included in a document. This extension can be enabled/disabled
2957− for the following formats (in addition to `markdown`):
2960− : `latex`, `textile`, `html` (environments, `\ref`, and
2961− `\eqref` only), `ipynb`
2964− : `textile`, `commonmark`
2966− Note: as applied to `ipynb`, `raw_html` and `raw_tex` affect not
2967− only raw TeX in markdown cells, but data with mime type
2968− `text/html` in output cells. Since the `ipynb` reader attempts
2969− to preserve the richest possible outputs when several options
2970− are given, you will get best results if you disable `raw_html`
2971− and `raw_tex` when converting to formats like `docx` which don't
2972− allow raw `html` or `tex`.
2974−- [`native_divs`](#extension-native_divs) causes HTML `div`
2975− elements to be parsed as native pandoc Div blocks.
2976− If you want them to be parsed as raw HTML, use
2977− `-f html-native_divs+raw_html`.
2979−- [`native_spans`](#extension-native_spans) causes HTML `span`
2980− elements to be parsed as native pandoc Span inlines.
2981− If you want them to be parsed as raw HTML, use
2982− `-f html-native_spans+raw_html`. If you want to drop all
2983− `div`s and `span`s when converting HTML to Markdown, you
2984− can use `pandoc -f html-native_divs-native_spans -t markdown`.

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

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.

5100−Allows attributes to be attached to any inline or block-level

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

5163−breaks instead of spaces.
5165−#### Extension: `ignore_line_breaks` ####
5167−Causes newlines within a paragraph to be ignored, rather than being
5168−treated as spaces or as hard line breaks. This option is intended for
5169−use with East Asian languages where spaces are not used between words,
5170−but text is divided into lines for readability.
5172−#### Extension: `east_asian_line_breaks` ####
5174−Causes newlines within a paragraph to be ignored, rather than
5175−being treated as spaces or as hard line breaks, when they occur
5176−between two East Asian wide characters. This is a better choice

5186−Causes anything between `\(` and `\)` to be interpreted as inline
5187−TeX math, and anything between `\[` and `\]` to be interpreted

3288+(`pandoc-citeproc --bib2yaml` can produce these from a bibliography file in one
3289+of the supported formats.)
3291+Citations and references can be formatted using any style supported by the
3292+[Citation Style Language], listed in the [Zotero Style Repository].
3293+These files are specified using the `--csl` option or the `csl` metadata field.
3294+By default, `pandoc-citeproc` will use the [Chicago Manual of Style] author-date
3295+format. The CSL project provides further information on [finding and editing styles].
3297+To make your citations hyperlinks to the corresponding bibliography
3298+entries, add `link-citations: true` to your YAML metadata.
3300+Citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons.
3301+Each citation must have a key, composed of '@' + the citation
3302+identifier from the database, and may optionally have a prefix,
3303+a locator, and a suffix. The citation key must begin with a letter, digit,
3304+or `_`, and may contain alphanumerics, `_`, and internal punctuation
3305+characters (`:.#$%&-+?<>~/`). Here are some examples:
3307+ Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, chap. 1].
3309+ Blah blah [@doe99, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and *passim*].
3311+ Blah blah [@smith04; @doe99].
3313+`pandoc-citeproc` detects locator terms in the [CSL locale files].
3314+Either abbreviated or unabbreviated forms are accepted. In the `en-US`
3315+locale, locator terms can be written in either singular or plural forms,
3316+as `book`, `bk.`/`bks.`; `chapter`, `chap.`/`chaps.`; `column`,
3317+`col.`/`cols.`; `figure`, `fig.`/`figs.`; `folio`, `fol.`/`fols.`;
3318+`number`, `no.`/`nos.`; `line`, `l.`/`ll.`; `note`, `n.`/`nn.`; `opus`,
3319+`op.`/`opp.`; `page`, `p.`/`pp.`; `paragraph`, `para.`/`paras.`; `part`,
3320+`pt.`/`pts.`; `section`, `sec.`/`secs.`; `sub verbo`, `s.v.`/`s.vv.`;
3321+`verse`, `v.`/`vv.`; `volume`, `vol.`/`vols.`; `¶`/`¶¶`; `§`/`§§`. If no
3322+locator term is used, "page" is assumed.
3324+A minus sign (`-`) before the `@` will suppress mention of
3325+the author in the citation. This can be useful when the
3326+author is already mentioned in the text:
3328+ Smith says blah [-@smith04].
3330+You can also write an in-text citation, as follows:
3332+ @smith04 says blah.
3334+ @smith04 [p. 33] says blah.
3336+If the style calls for a list of works cited, it will be placed
3337+at the end of the document. Normally, you will want to end your
3338+document with an appropriate header:
3344+The bibliography will be inserted after this header. Note that
3345+the `unnumbered` class will be added to this header, so that the
3346+section will not be numbered.
3348+If you want to include items in the bibliography without actually
3349+citing them in the body text, you can define a dummy `nocite` metadata
3350+field and put the citations there:
5380− references:

6487− writer could in principle do anything on your file system. Please

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

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
