# NAME
pandoc - general markup converter
# SYNOPSIS
pandoc [*options*] [*input-file*]...
# DESCRIPTION
Pandoc converts files from one markup format to another. It can
read markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and
it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, ConTeXt, Texinfo,
groff man, MediaWiki markup, RTF, OpenDocument XML, ODT, DocBook XML,
and S5 HTML slide shows.
If no *input-file* is specified, input is read from *stdin*.
Otherwise, the *input-files* are concatenated (with a blank
line between each) and used as input. Output goes to *stdout* by
default (though output to *stdout* is disabled for the `odt` output
format). For output to a file, use the `-o` option:
pandoc -o output.html input.txt
The input and output formats may be specified using command-line options
(see **OPTIONS**, below, for details). If these formats are not
specified explicitly, Pandoc will attempt to determine them
from the extensions of the input and output filenames. If input comes
from *stdin* or from a file with an unknown extension, the input is assumed
to be markdown. If no output filename is specified using the `-o`
option, or if a filename is specified but its extension is unknown,
the output will default to HTML. Thus, for example,
pandoc -o chap1.tex chap1.txt
converts *chap1.txt* from markdown to LaTeX. And
pandoc README
converts *README* from markdown to HTML.
Pandoc's version of markdown is an extended variant of standard
markdown: the differences are described in the *README* file in
the user documentation. If standard markdown syntax is desired, the
`--strict` option may be used.
Pandoc uses the UTF-8 character encoding for both input and output.
If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input
and output through `iconv`:
iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | pandoc | iconv -f utf-8
Pandoc's HTML parser is not very forgiving. If your input is
HTML, consider running it through `tidy`(1) before passing it
to Pandoc. Or use `html2markdown`(1), a wrapper around `pandoc`.
# OPTIONS
-f *FORMAT*, -r *FORMAT*, \--from=*FORMAT*, \--read=*FORMAT*
: Specify input format. *FORMAT* can be
`native` (native Haskell), `markdown` (markdown or plain text),
`rst` (reStructuredText), `html` (HTML), or `latex` (LaTeX).
If `+lhs` is appended to `markdown`, `rst`, or `latex`, the input
will be treated as literate Haskell source.
-t *FORMAT*, -w *FORMAT*, \--to=*FORMAT*, \--write=*FORMAT*
: Specify output format. *FORMAT* can be `native` (native Haskell),
`markdown` (markdown or plain text), `rst` (reStructuredText),
`html` (HTML), `latex` (LaTeX), `context` (ConTeXt), `man` (groff man),
`mediawiki` (MediaWiki markup), `texinfo` (GNU Texinfo),
`docbook` (DocBook XML), `opendocument` (OpenDocument XML),
`odt` (OpenOffice text document), `s5` (S5 HTML and javascript slide
show), or `rtf` (rich text format). Note that `odt` output will not
be directed to *stdout*; an output filename must be specified using
the `-o/--output` option. If `+lhs` is appended to `markdown`,
`rst`, `latex`, or `html`, the output will be rendered as literate
Haskell source.
-s, \--standalone
: Produce output with an appropriate header and footer (e.g. a
standalone HTML, LaTeX, or RTF file, not a fragment).
-o *FILE*, \--output=*FILE*
: Write output to *FILE* instead of *stdout*. If *FILE* is
\``-`', output will go to *stdout*.
-p, \--preserve-tabs
: Preserve tabs instead of converting them to spaces.
\--tab-stop=*TABSTOP*
: Specify tab stop (default is 4).
\--strict
: Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
\--reference-links
: Use reference-style links, rather than inline links, in writing markdown
or reStructuredText.
-R, \--parse-raw
: Parse untranslatable HTML codes and LaTeX environments as raw HTML
or LaTeX, instead of ignoring them.
-S, \--smart
: Use smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses. (This option is significant
only when the input format is `markdown`. It is selected automatically
when the output format is `latex` or `context`.)
-m*URL*, \--latexmathml=*URL*
: Use LaTeXMathML to display embedded TeX math in HTML output.
To insert a link to a local copy of the `LaTeXMathML.js` script,
provide a *URL*. If no *URL* is provided, the contents of the
script will be inserted directly into the HTML header.
\--jsmath=*URL*
: Use jsMath to display embedded TeX math in HTML output.
The *URL* should point to the jsMath load script; if provided,
it will be linked to in the header of standalone HTML documents.
\--gladtex
: Enclose TeX math in `<eq>` tags in HTML output. These can then
be processed by gladTeX to produce links to images of the typeset
formulas.
\--mimetex=*URL*
: Render TeX math using the mimeTeX CGI script. If *URL* is not specified,
it is assumed that the script is at `/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi`.
-i, \--incremental
: Make list items in S5 display incrementally (one by one).
-N, \--number-sections
: Number section headings in LaTeX output. (Default is not to number
them.)
\--no-wrap
: Disable text wrapping in output. (Default is to wrap text.)
\--sanitize-html
: Sanitizes HTML (in markdown or HTML input) using a whitelist.
Unsafe tags are replaced by HTML comments; unsafe attributes
are omitted. URIs in links and images are also checked against a
whitelist of URI schemes.
\--email-obfuscation=*none|javascript|references*
: Specify a method for obfuscating `mailto:` links in HTML documents.
*none* leaves `mailto:` links as they are. *javascript* obfuscates
them using javascript. *references* obfuscates them by printing their
letters as decimal or hexadecimal character references.
If `--strict` is specified, *references* is used regardless of the
presence of this option.
\--toc, \--table-of-contents
: Include an automatically generated table of contents (HTML, markdown,
RTF) or an instruction to create one (LaTeX, reStructuredText).
This option has no effect on man, DocBook, or S5 output.
-c *CSS*, \--css=*CSS*
: Link to a CSS style sheet. *CSS* is the pathname of the style sheet.
-H *FILE*, \--include-in-header=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the header. Implies `-s`.
-B *FILE*, \--include-before-body=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the beginning of the document body.
-A *FILE*, \--include-after-body=*FILE*
: Include contents of *FILE* at the end of the document body.
-C *FILE*, \--custom-header=*FILE*
: Use contents of *FILE* as the document header (overriding the
default header, which can be printed by using the `-D` option).
Implies `-s`.
-D *FORMAT*, \--print-default-header=*FORMAT*
: Print the default header for *FORMAT* (`html`, `s5`, `latex`,
`context`, `docbook`, `man`, `markdown`, `opendocument`,
`rst`, `rtf`).
-P *MODULE[,MODULE...]*, \--plugins=*MODULE[,MODULE...]*
: Specify plugins to load, by module name or source file pathname.
Plugins should export a function `transform` of type `a -> a`
or `a -> IO a`, where `a` is `Inline`, `Block`, `Pandoc`,
`[Inline]`, or `[Block]`. This function will be used to transform
the pandoc document after it is parsed by the reader and before it
is written out by the writer.
-T *STRING*, \--title-prefix=*STRING*
: Specify *STRING* as a prefix to the HTML window title.
\--dump-args
: Print information about command-line arguments to *stdout*, then exit.
The first line of output contains the name of the output file specified
with the `-o` option, or \``-`' (for *stdout*) if no output file was
specified. The remaining lines contain the command-line arguments,
one per line, in the order they appear. These do not include regular
Pandoc options and their arguments, but do include any options appearing
after a \``--`' separator at the end of the line.
This option is intended primarily for use in wrapper scripts.
\--ignore-args
: Ignore command-line arguments (for use in wrapper scripts).
Regular Pandoc options are not ignored. Thus, for example,
: pandoc --ignore-args -o foo.html -s foo.txt -- -e latin1
: is equivalent to
: pandoc -o foo.html -s
-v, \--version
: Print version.
-h, \--help
: Show usage message.
