I recommend sphinx instead.

I've used pandoc ca. 2011 and its output support is adequate but -- being Haskell -- not very tweakable without HTFS & recompiling. (I haven't upgraded it since then because I *expect* cabal to fall over and leave me without a gitit, and restoring the current state from backup would be boring and time-consuming.) It's reST support was pretty broken (e.g. forget putting a table inside a table), but if you're writing markdown you don't care. It had an optional build dependency on kate (the KDE text editor) plugins, which do the equivalent of pygments in reST -- syntax highlighting for code blocks. Opting out of that saved me significant (like, 90%) disk/CPU time resources when building pandoc. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
