1313Pandoc is a [Haskell] library for converting from one markup format to
14−another, and a command-line tool that uses this library.

16−Pandoc can convert between numerous markup and word processing formats,
17−including, but not limited to, various flavors of [Markdown], [HTML],
18−[LaTeX] and [Word docx]. For the full lists of input and output formats,

39+
40+In contrast to most existing tools for converting Markdown to HTML, which
41+use regex substitutions, pandoc has a modular design: it consists of a
42+set of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a native
43+representation of the document, and a set of writers, which convert

1764−## Template syntax
1165+Some variables are set automatically by pandoc. These vary somewhat

1167+as the following:
17651168
1766−### Comments
1169+`sourcefile`, `outputfile`
1170+: source and destination filenames, as given on the command line.
1171+ `sourcefile` can also be a list if input comes from multiple files, or empty
1172+ if input is from stdin. You can use the following snippet in your template
1173+ to distinguish them:
17671174
1768−Anything between the sequence `$--` and the end of the

1771−### Delimiters
1183+ Similarly, `outputfile` can be `-` if output goes to the terminal.
17721184
1773−To mark variables and control structures in the template,
1774−either `$`...`$` or `${`...`}` may be used as delimiters.
1775−The styles may also be mixed in the same template, but the
1776−opening and closing delimiter must match in each case. The
1777−opening delimiter may be followed by one or more spaces
1778−or tabs, which will be ignored. The closing delimiter may
1779−be followed by one or more spaces or tabs, which will be
1780−ignored.
1185+`title`, `author`, `date`

1187+ in PDF metadata through LaTeX and ConTeXt. These can be set
1188+ through a [pandoc title block][Extension: `pandoc_title_block`],

1200+ `\subtitle`, such as `beamer` or the [KOMA-Script] series (`scrartcl`,
1201+ `scrreprt`, `scrbook`).[^subtitle]

1786−A slot for an interpolated variable is a variable name surrounded
1787−by matched delimiters. Variable names must begin with a letter
1788−and can contain letters, numbers, `_`, `-`, and `.`. The

1251+`lang`
1252+: identifies the main language of the document,
1253+ using a code according to [BCP 47] (e.g. `en` or `en-GB`).
1254+ For some output formats, pandoc will convert it to an appropriate
1255+ format stored in the additional variables `babel-lang`,
1256+ `polyglossia-lang` (LaTeX) and `context-lang` (ConTeXt).
1257+
1258+ Native pandoc `span`s and `div`s with the lang attribute
1259+ (value in BCP 47) can be used to switch the language in
1260+ that range.
1261+
1262+`otherlangs`
1263+: a list of other languages used in the document
1264+ in the YAML metadata, according to [BCP 47]. For example:
1265+ `otherlangs: [en-GB, fr]`.
1266+ This is automatically generated from the `lang` attributes
1267+ in all `span`s and `div`s but can be overridden.
1268+ Currently only used by LaTeX through the generated
1269+ `babel-otherlangs` and `polyglossia-otherlangs` variables.
1270+ The LaTeX writer outputs polyglossia commands in the text but
1271+ the `babel-newcommands` variable contains mappings for them
1272+ to the corresponding babel.
18631273
1864−### For loops
1274+`dir`
1275+: the base direction of the document, either `rtl` (right-to-left)
1276+ or `ltr` (left-to-right).
18651277
1866−A for loop begins with `for(variable)` (enclosed in
1867−matched delimiters) and ends with `endfor` (enclosed in matched
1868−delimiters.
1278+ For bidirectional documents, native pandoc `span`s and `div`s
1279+ with the `dir` attribute (value `rtl` or `ltr`) can be used to
1280+ override the base direction in some output formats.
1281+ This may not always be necessary if the final renderer
1282+ (e.g. the browser, when generating HTML) supports the
1283+ [Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm].
18691284
1870−- If `variable` is an array, the material inside the loop will
1871− be evaluated repeatedly, with `variable` being set to each
1872− value of the array in turn, and concatenated.
1873−- If `variable` is a map, the material inside will be set to
1874− the map.
1875−- If the value of the associated variable is not an array or
1876− a map, a single iteration will be performed on its value.
1285+ When using LaTeX for bidirectional documents, only the `xelatex` engine
1286+ is fully supported (use `--latex-engine=xelatex`).

2075−- `lowercase`: Converts text to lowercase.
2076−
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.
2080−
2081−- `reverse`: Reverses a textual value or array,
2082− and has no effect on other values.
2083−
2084−- `first`: Returns the first value of an array, if

2086− the original value.
2087−
2088−- `last`: Returns the last value of an array, if
2089− applied to a non-empty array; otherwise returns
2090− the original value.
2091−
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.
2095−
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.
2099−
2100−- `chomp`: Removes trailing newlines (and breakable space).
2101−
2102−- `nowrap`: Disables line wrapping on breakable spaces.
2103−
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`.
2109−
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`.
2114−
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.
2122−
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.

2800−# Extensions
2801−
2802−The behavior of some of the readers and writers can be adjusted by
2803−enabling or disabling various extensions.
2804−
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.
2810−
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.
2816−
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`).

2821−## Typography
2822−
2823−#### Extension: `smart` ####
2824−
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."
2828−
2829−This extension can be enabled/disabled for the following formats:
2830−
2831−input formats

2836−
2837−enabled by default in
2838−: `markdown`, `latex`, `context` (both input and output)
2839−
2840−Note: If you are *writing* Markdown, then the `smart` extension
2841−has the reverse effect: what would have been curly quotes comes
2842−out straight.
2843−
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.

1604+If you use custom templates, you may need to revise them as pandoc
1605+changes. We recommend tracking the changes in the default templates,

2284+### Compact and loose lists ###
2285+
2286+Pandoc behaves differently from `Markdown.pl` on some "edge
2287+cases" involving lists. Consider this source:
2288+
2289+ + First
2290+ + Second:
2291+ - Fee
2292+ - Fie
2293+ - Foe
2294+
2295+ + Third
2296+
2297+Pandoc transforms this into a "compact list" (with no `<p>` tags around
2298+"First", "Second", or "Third"), while Markdown puts `<p>` tags around
2299+"Second" and "Third" (but not "First"), because of the blank space
2300+around "Third". Pandoc follows a simple rule: if the text is followed by
2301+a blank line, it is treated as a paragraph. Since "Second" is followed
2302+by a list, and not a blank line, it isn't treated as a paragraph. The
2303+fact that the list is followed by a blank line is irrelevant. (Note:
2304+Pandoc works this way even when the `markdown_strict` format is specified. This
2305+behavior is consistent with the official Markdown syntax description,

2911+
2912+ 1. The default is to render TeX math as far as possible using Unicode
2913+ characters, as with RTF, DocBook, and OpenDocument output. Formulas
2914+ are put inside a `span` with `class="math"`, so that they may be
2915+ styled differently from the surrounding text if needed.
2916+
2917+ 2. If the `--latexmathml` option is used, TeX math will be displayed
2918+ between `$` or `$$` characters and put in `<span>` tags with class `LaTeX`.
2919+ The [LaTeXMathML] script will be used to render it as formulas.
2920+ (This trick does not work in all browsers, but it works in Firefox.
2921+ In browsers that do not support LaTeXMathML, TeX math will appear
2922+ verbatim between `$` characters.)
2923+
2924+ 3. If the `--jsmath` option is used, TeX math will be put inside
2925+ `<span>` tags (for inline math) or `<div>` tags (for display math)
2926+ with class `math`. The [jsMath] script will be used to render
2927+ it.
2928+
2929+ 4. If the `--mimetex` option is used, the [mimeTeX] CGI script will
2930+ be called to generate images for each TeX formula. This should
2931+ work in all browsers. The `--mimetex` option takes an optional URL
2932+ as argument. If no URL is specified, it will be assumed that the
2933+ mimeTeX CGI script is at `/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi`.
2934+
2935+ 5. If the `--gladtex` option is used, TeX formulas will be enclosed
2936+ in `<eq>` tags in the HTML output. The resulting `htex` file may then
2937+ be processed by [gladTeX], which will produce image files for each
2938+ formula and an HTML file with links to these images. So, the
2939+ procedure is:
2940+
2941+ pandoc -s --gladtex myfile.txt -o myfile.htex
2942+ gladtex -d myfile-images myfile.htex
2943+ # produces myfile.html and images in myfile-images
2944+
2945+ 6. If the `--webtex` option is used, TeX formulas will be converted
2946+ to `<img>` tags that link to an external script that converts
2947+ formulas to images. The formula will be URL-encoded and concatenated
2948+ with the URL provided. For SVG images you can for example use
2949+ `--webtex https://latex.codecogs.com/svg.latex?`.
2950+ If no URL is specified, the CodeCogs URL generating PNGs
2951+ will be used (`https://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?`).
2952+
2953+ 7. If the `--mathjax` option is used, TeX math will be displayed
2954+ between `\(...\)` (for inline math) or `\[...\]` (for display
2955+ math) and put in `<span>` tags with class `math`.

5006−defined in the [CSL locale files]. Either abbreviated or
5007−unabbreviated forms are accepted. In the `en-US` locale, locator

5017−
5018−In complex cases, you can force something to be treated as

5060−## Non-default extensions
5061−
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.
5066−
5067−#### Extension: `rebase_relative_paths` ####
5068−
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.
5074−
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
5082−
5083− pandoc chap*/*.md -f markdown+rebase_relative_paths
5084−
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.
5089−
5090−Absolute paths and URLs are not changed. Neither are empty
5091−paths or paths consisting entirely of a fragment, e.g., `#foo`.
5092−
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.
5097−
5098−#### Extension: `attributes` ####
5099−
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`].
5103−
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
5110− element.
5111−- Consecutive attribute specifiers may be used,
5112− either for blocks or for inlines. Their attributes
5113− will be combined.
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
5123− definition.
5124−
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.
5128−
5129−#### Extension: `old_dashes` ####
5130−
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.
5135−
5136−#### Extension: `angle_brackets_escapable` ####
5137−
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`.
5141−
5142−#### Extension: `lists_without_preceding_blankline` ####
5143−
5144−Allow a list to occur right after a paragraph, with no intervening
5145−blank space.
5146−
5147−#### Extension: `four_space_rule` ####
5148−
5149−Selects the pandoc <= 2.0 behavior for parsing lists, so that
5150−four spaces indent are needed for list item continuation
5151−paragraphs.
5152−
5153−#### Extension: `spaced_reference_links` ####
5154−
5155−Allow whitespace between the two components of a reference link,
5156−for example,
5157−
5158− [foo] [bar].

5160−#### Extension: `hard_line_breaks` ####
5161−
5162−Causes all newlines within a paragraph to be interpreted as hard line
5163−breaks instead of spaces.
5164−
5165−#### Extension: `ignore_line_breaks` ####
5166−
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.
5171−
5172−#### Extension: `east_asian_line_breaks` ####
5173−
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
5177−than `ignore_line_breaks` for texts that include a mix of East
5178−Asian wide characters and other characters.
5179−
5180−#### Extension: `emoji` ####
5181−
5182−Parses textual emojis like `:smile:` as Unicode emoticons.
5183−
5184−#### Extension: `tex_math_single_backslash` ####
5185−
5186−Causes anything between `\(` and `\)` to be interpreted as inline
5187−TeX math, and anything between `\[` and `\]` to be interpreted
5188−as display TeX math. Note: a drawback of this extension is that
5189−it precludes escaping `(` and `[`.
5190−
5191−#### Extension: `tex_math_double_backslash` ####
5192−
5193−Causes anything between `\\(` and `\\)` to be interpreted as inline
5194−TeX math, and anything between `\\[` and `\\]` to be interpreted
5195−as display TeX math.
5196−
5197−#### Extension: `markdown_attribute` ####
5198−
5199−By default, pandoc interprets material inside block-level tags as Markdown.
5200−This extension changes the behavior so that Markdown is only parsed
5201−inside block-level tags if the tags have the attribute `markdown=1`.
5202−
5203−#### Extension: `mmd_title_block` ####
5204−
5205−Enables a [MultiMarkdown] style title block at the top of

5208− Title: My title
5209− Author: John Doe

5214−See the MultiMarkdown documentation for details. If `pandoc_title_block` or
5215−`yaml_metadata_block` is enabled, it will take precedence over
5216−`mmd_title_block`.

5218−#### Extension: `abbreviations` ####
5219−
5220−Parses PHP Markdown Extra abbreviation keys, like
5221−
5222− *[HTML]: Hypertext Markup Language
5223−
5224−Note that the pandoc document model does not support
5225−abbreviations, so if this extension is enabled, abbreviation keys are
5226−simply skipped (as opposed to being parsed as paragraphs).
5227−
5228−#### Extension: `autolink_bare_uris` ####
5229−
5230−Makes all absolute URIs into links, even when not surrounded by
5231−pointy braces `<...>`.
5232−
5233−#### Extension: `mmd_link_attributes` ####
5234−
5235−Parses multimarkdown style key-value attributes on link
5236−and image references. This extension should not be confused with the
5237−[`link_attributes`](#extension-link_attributes) extension.
5238−
5239− This is a reference ![image][ref] with multimarkdown attributes.

5245−
5246−Parses multimarkdown style heading identifiers (in square brackets,
5247−after the heading but before any trailing `#`s in an ATX heading).
5248−
5249−#### Extension: `compact_definition_lists` ####
5250−
5251−Activates the definition list syntax of pandoc 1.12.x and earlier.
5252−This syntax differs from the one described above under [Definition lists]
5253−in several respects:
5254−
5255− - No blank line is required between consecutive items of the
5256− definition list.
5257− - To get a "tight" or "compact" list, omit space between consecutive
5258− items; the space between a term and its definition does not affect
5259− anything.
5260− - Lazy wrapping of paragraphs is not allowed: the entire definition must
5261− be indented four spaces.[^6]
5262−
5263−[^6]: To see why laziness is incompatible with relaxing the requirement
5264− of a blank line between items, consider the following example:
5265−
5266− bar
5267− : definition
5268− foo
5269− : definition
5270−
5271− Is this a single list item with two definitions of "bar," the first of
5272− which is lazily wrapped, or two list items? To remove the ambiguity
5273− we must either disallow lazy wrapping or require a blank line between
5274− list items.

3336+`` ` `` and `` ' `` for single quotes) and dashes (`--` for
3337+en-dash and `---` for em-dash). If `smart` is disabled,
3338+then in reading LaTeX pandoc will parse these characters
3339+literally. In writing LaTeX, enabling `smart` tells pandoc
3340+to use the ligatures when possible; if `smart` is disabled

53103342
5311−Note that the list of extensions for `commonmark`,
5312−`gfm`, and `commonmark_x` are defined relative to default

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.
3436+(`pandoc-citeproc --bib2yaml` can produce these from a bibliography file in one
3437+of the supported formats.)
3438+
3439+Citations and references can be formatted using any style supported by the
3440+[Citation Style Language], listed in the [Zotero Style Repository].
3441+These files are specified using the `--csl` option or the `csl` metadata field.
3442+By default, `pandoc-citeproc` will use the [Chicago Manual of Style] author-date
3443+format. The CSL project provides further information on [finding and editing styles].
3444+
3445+To make your citations hyperlinks to the corresponding bibliography
3446+entries, add `link-citations: true` to your YAML metadata.
3447+
3448+Citations go inside square brackets and are separated by semicolons.
3449+Each citation must have a key, composed of '@' + the citation
3450+identifier from the database, and may optionally have a prefix,
3451+a locator, and a suffix. The citation key must begin with a letter, digit,
3452+or `_`, and may contain alphanumerics, `_`, and internal punctuation
3453+characters (`:.#$%&-+?<>~/`). Here are some examples:
3454+
3455+ Blah blah [see @doe99, pp. 33-35; also @smith04, chap. 1].
3456+
3457+ Blah blah [@doe99, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and *passim*].
3458+
3459+ Blah blah [@smith04; @doe99].
3460+
3461+`pandoc-citeproc` detects locator terms in the [CSL locale files].
3462+Either abbreviated or unabbreviated forms are accepted. In the `en-US`
3463+locale, locator terms can be written in either singular or plural forms,
3464+as `book`, `bk.`/`bks.`; `chapter`, `chap.`/`chaps.`; `column`,
3465+`col.`/`cols.`; `figure`, `fig.`/`figs.`; `folio`, `fol.`/`fols.`;
3466+`number`, `no.`/`nos.`; `line`, `l.`/`ll.`; `note`, `n.`/`nn.`; `opus`,
3467+`op.`/`opp.`; `page`, `p.`/`pp.`; `paragraph`, `para.`/`paras.`; `part`,
3468+`pt.`/`pts.`; `section`, `sec.`/`secs.`; `sub verbo`, `s.v.`/`s.vv.`;
3469+`verse`, `v.`/`vv.`; `volume`, `vol.`/`vols.`; `¶`/`¶¶`; `§`/`§§`. If no
3470+locator term is used, "page" is assumed.
3471+
3472+A minus sign (`-`) before the `@` will suppress mention of
3473+the author in the citation. This can be useful when the
3474+author is already mentioned in the text:
3475+
3476+ Smith says blah [-@smith04].
3477+
3478+You can also write an in-text citation, as follows:
3479+
3480+ @smith04 says blah.
3481+
3482+ @smith04 [p. 33] says blah.
3483+
3484+If the style calls for a list of works cited, it will be placed
3485+at the end of the document. Normally, you will want to end your
3486+document with an appropriate header:
3487+
3488+ last paragraph...
3489+
3490+ # References
3491+
3492+The bibliography will be inserted after this header. Note that
3493+the `unnumbered` class will be added to this header, so that the
3494+section will not be numbered.
3495+
3496+If you want to include items in the bibliography without actually
3497+citing them in the body text, you can define a dummy `nocite` metadata
3498+field and put the citations there:
3499+
3500+ ---
3501+ nocite: |
3502+ @item1, @item2
3503+ ...
3504+
3505+ @item3
3506+
3507+In this example, the document will contain a citation for `item3`
3508+only, but the bibliography will contain entries for `item1`, `item2`, and
3509+`item3`.
3510+
3511+It is possible to create a bibliography with all the citations,
3512+whether or not they appear in the document, by using a wildcard:
3513+
3514+ ---
3515+ nocite: |
3516+ @*
3517+ ...
3518+
3519+For LaTeX or PDF output, you can also use [`natbib`] or [`biblatex`]
3520+to render bibliography. In order to do so, specify bibliography files as
3521+outlined above, and add `--natbib` or `--biblatex` argument to `pandoc`
3522+invocation. Bear in mind that bibliography files have to be in respective
3523+format (either BibTeX or BibLaTeX).
54083524
5409−Note that `pandoc` can be used to produce such a YAML metadata
5410−section from a BibTeX, BibLaTeX, or CSL JSON bibliography:
3525+For more information, see the [pandoc-citeproc man page].

54173537
5418− pandoc chem.bib -s -f biblatex -t csljson
5419− pandoc chem.yaml -s -f markdown -t biblatex
3538+The following Markdown syntax extensions are not enabled by default
3539+in pandoc, but may be enabled by adding `+EXTENSION` to the format
3540+name, where `EXTENSION` is the name of the extension. Thus, for
3541+example, `markdown+hard_line_breaks` is Markdown with hard line breaks.
54203542
5421−Running pandoc on a bibliography file with the `--citeproc`
5422−option will create a formatted bibliography in the format
5423−of your choice:
3543+#### Extension: `old_dashes` ####
54243544
5425− pandoc chem.bib -s --citeproc -o chem.html
5426− pandoc chem.bib -s --citeproc -o chem.pdf
3545+Selects the pandoc <= 1.8.2.1 behavior for parsing smart dashes:
3546+`-` before a numeral is an en-dash, and `--` is an em-dash.
3547+This option only has an effect if `smart` is enabled. It is
3548+selected automatically for `textile` input.
54273549
5428−### Capitalization in titles
3550+#### Extension: `angle_brackets_escapable` ####
54293551
5430−If you are using a bibtex or biblatex bibliography, then observe
5431−the following rules:
3552+Allow `<` and `>` to be backslash-escaped, as they can be in
3553+GitHub flavored Markdown but not original Markdown. This is
3554+implied by pandoc's default `all_symbols_escapable`.
54323555
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`.)
3556+#### Extension: `lists_without_preceding_blankline` ####
54383557
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:
3558+Allow a list to occur right after a paragraph, with no intervening
3559+blank space.
54423560
5443− title = {My Dinner with {Andre}}
3561+#### Extension: `spaced_reference_links` ####
54443562
5445− - In addition, words that should remain lowercase (or camelCase)
5446− should be protected:
3563+Allow whitespace between the two components of a reference link,
3564+for example,
54473565
5448− title = {Spin Wave Dispersion on the {nm} Scale}
3566+ [foo] [bar].
54493567
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.
3568+#### Extension: `hard_line_breaks` ####
54543569
5455−If you are using a CSL bibliography (either JSON or YAML), then observe
5456−the following rules:
3570+Causes all newlines within a paragraph to be interpreted as hard line
3571+breaks instead of spaces.
54573572
5458− - All titles should be in sentence case.
3573+#### Extension: `ignore_line_breaks` ####
54593574
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.)
3575+Causes newlines within a paragraph to be ignored, rather than being
3576+treated as spaces or as hard line breaks. This option is intended for
3577+use with East Asian languages where spaces are not used between words,
3578+but text is divided into lines for readability.
54633579
5464− - Protect words that should not be converted to title case using
5465− this syntax:
3580+#### Extension: `east_asian_line_breaks` ####
54663581
5467− Spin wave dispersion on the <span class="nocase">nm</span> scale
3582+Causes newlines within a paragraph to be ignored, rather than
3583+being treated as spaces or as hard line breaks, when they occur
3584+between two East Asian wide characters. This is a better choice
3585+than `ignore_line_breaks` for texts that include a mix of East
3586+Asian wide characters and other characters.
54683587
5469−### Conference Papers, Published vs. Unpublished
3588+##### Extension: `emoji` ####
54703589
5471−For a formally published conference paper, use the biblatex entry type
5472−`inproceedings` (which will be mapped to CSL `paper-conference`).
3590+Parses textual emojis like `:smile:` as Unicode emoticons.
54733591
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`).
3592+#### Extension: `tex_math_single_backslash` ####
54773593
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.
3594+Causes anything between `\(` and `\)` to be interpreted as inline
3595+TeX math, and anything between `\[` and `\]` to be interpreted
3596+as display TeX math. Note: a drawback of this extension is that
3597+it precludes escaping `(` and `[`.
54873598
3599+#### Extension: `tex_math_double_backslash` ####
54883600
5489−## Specifying a citation style
3601+Causes anything between `\\(` and `\\)` to be interpreted as inline
3602+TeX math, and anything between `\\[` and `\\]` to be interpreted
3603+as display TeX math.
54903604
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
5499−editing styles].
5500−
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
5506−example:
3605+#### Extension: `markdown_attribute` ####
55073606
3607+By default, pandoc interprets material inside block-level tags as Markdown.
3608+This extension changes the behavior so that Markdown is only parsed
3609+inside block-level tags if the tags have the attribute `markdown=1`.

5514− }
5515− }
5516− }
3611+#### Extension: `mmd_title_block` ####
55173612
3613+Enables a [MultiMarkdown] style title block at the top of
3614+the document, for example:
55183615
5519−## Citations in note styles
3616+ Title: My title
3617+ Author: John Doe
3618+ Date: September 1, 2008
3619+ Comment: This is a sample mmd title block, with
3620+ a field spanning multiple lines.
55203621
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
5526−example,
3622+See the MultiMarkdown documentation for details. If `pandoc_title_block` or
3623+`yaml_metadata_block` is enabled, it will take precedence over
3624+`mmd_title_block`.
55273625
5528− Blah blah [@foo, p. 33].
3626+#### Extension: `abbreviations` ####
55293627
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
5534−metadata fields].
3628+Parses PHP Markdown Extra abbreviation keys, like
55353629
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:
3630+ *[HTML]: Hypertext Markup Language
55413631
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].
3632+Note that the pandoc document model does not support
3633+abbreviations, so if this extension is enabled, abbreviation keys are
3634+simply skipped (as opposed to being parsed as paragraphs).
55453635
5546−## Raw content in a style
3636+#### Extension: `autolink_bare_uris` ####
55473637
5548−To include raw content in a prefix, suffix, delimiter, or term,
5549−surround it with these tags indicating the format:
3638+Makes all absolute URIs into links, even when not surrounded by
3639+pointy braces `<...>`.
55503640
5551− {{jats}}<ref>{{/jats}}
3641+#### Extension: `ascii_identifiers` ####
55523642
5553−Without the tags, the string will be interpreted as a string
5554−and escaped in the output, rather than being passed through raw.
3643+Causes the identifiers produced by `auto_identifiers` to be pure ASCII.
3644+Accents are stripped off of accented Latin letters, and non-Latin
3645+letters are omitted.
55553646
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.
3647+#### Extension: `mmd_link_attributes` ####
55603648
3649+Parses multimarkdown style key-value attributes on link
3650+and image references. This extension should not be confused with the
3651+[`link_attributes`](#extension-link_attributes) extension.
55613652

55703662
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.
3663+#### Extension: `compact_definition_lists` ####
55743664
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:
3665+Activates the definition list syntax of pandoc 1.12.x and earlier.
3666+This syntax differs from the one described above under [Definition lists]
3667+in several respects:
55793668
5580− last paragraph...
3669+ - No blank line is required between consecutive items of the
3670+ definition list.
3671+ - To get a "tight" or "compact" list, omit space between consecutive
3672+ items; the space between a term and its definition does not affect
3673+ anything.
3674+ - Lazy wrapping of paragraphs is not allowed: the entire definition must
3675+ be indented four spaces.[^6]
55813676
5582− # References
3677+[^6]: To see why laziness is incompatible with relaxing the requirement
3678+ of a blank line between items, consider the following example:
55833679
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
3685+ Is this a single list item with two definitions of "bar," the first of
3686+ which is lazily wrapped, or two list items? To remove the ambiguity
3687+ we must either disallow lazy wrapping or require a blank line between

4059+ code rather than block quotations. Text between `\begin{code}`
4060+ and `\end{code}` will also be treated as Haskell code. For

4063+ - In Markdown output, code blocks with classes `haskell` and `literate`

4065+ indented one space, so they will not be treated as Haskell code.
4066+ In addition, headers will be rendered setext-style (with underlines)
4067+ rather than ATX-style (with '#' characters). (This is because ghc
4068+ treats '#' characters in column 1 as introducing line numbers.)

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
