#pandoc — Public Fediverse posts

This week @readbeanicecream is my guest for the #OverUnder 078

He shares his thoughts on #Pandoc, #Ghostty, #PKM, #diary, and #Flammkuchen..

He also replied to @alex's question.

And, like every week, we got a recommendation for two #books.

Once again I went down a rabbit hole figuring something out, and now you -- yes, you, random person on the internet -- can benefit from my work.

I write slides for my classes in markdown and turn them into reveal.js slides. Sometimes I want to post the slides, but I want to strip out speaker notes and other non-useful bits. I could edit the output, maybe, but...ugh. Let's do this properly.

You can write filters for pandoc, but the documentation just wasn't that great.

Well, I figured it out: https://gist.github.com/dandrake/1b6deb7779b5629f75b35bfac3a2f9aa

Das ist tatsächlich die beste Anleitung die ich bisher auf einer offiziellen Seite zu einer Software gesehen habe: https://pandoc.org/getting-started.html
Die holt auch blutige Anfänger*innen ab, erklärt jeden Schritt und bietet dann noch eine Zusammenfassung davon.

#Markdown Is a Disaster: Why and What to Do Instead
https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/

Here's my article where I summarize the subtle and no so subtle downsides when you choose Markdown for your information instead of a different markup syntax that doesn't come with all the downsides of #MD.

Late last week, I dusted off a project that had been abandoned by one of our drive-by volunteers about three years ago.

I was strugglin' a bit getting the dependency restraints updated and re-familiarizing myself with the repo and publishing configurations. I think that's in good shape now & I can mostly focus on document conversion & layout.

Now that I've got more familiarity with #Sphinx and #pandoc than I did three years ago, I looking forward to making some progress this week.

It's been a long time itch to scratch of mine & now I've got some time & motivation. We shall see....

@ax6761 @perl I sympathize. Would that mean you would author #Perl POD but then convert to #reStructuredText for #Python? Because #Pandoc can already do that as of this week:

```
pandoc --from=pod --to=rst
```

🆕 #pandoc 3.6 has been released:
• Support for #mdoc as input format
• Improved parsing of #reStructuredText
• #Typst 0.12 support
• Safe handling of `--embed-resources` when combined with `--sandbox`

The default templates for LaTeX, ConTeXt, and Typst have been updated.

Novedades de @pandoc .
Pandoc es una utilidad para la conversión de formatos de archivo, en esencia, de texto plano, que utiliza una estructura de representación intermedia para poder "compilar" a otros formatos.
Ejemplo, puedes convertir de #ReStructuredText a #MarkDown o #LaTeX.
En su novedad, está el cambio de la dependencia para generar PDF por Weasyprint.

This looks promising

could this replace pandoc?

My current workflow is sublime -> pandoc, or obsidian -> pandoc (if it is part of my projects)

Obviously the need for sublime -> pandoc -> powerpoint remains
