About the project
Pandoc is a universal document converter that is positioned as a Swiss army knife for working with files. The project is free software released under the GPL license (Copyright 20062025). It is based on a Haskell library and a stand-alone command line program. The main task of the tool is to convert files from one markup format to another, and it supports a huge range of formats, from light text to complex e-books and interactive notepads.
Main directions
The list of supported formats is impressive in its diversity. Pandoc can work with almost all popular standards:
- Lightweight markup formats:Markdown, reStructuredText, Textile, MediaWiki markup, RST, OPML, Emacs Org mode and others. Two-way conversion between many of them is supported.
- HTML formats:XHTML 4, HTML5, as well as chunked HTML (broken into pages).
- Electronic books:EPUB versions 2 and 3.
- Documentation formats:DocBook (versions 4 and 5), man pages, mdoc.
- TeX and LaTeX:Full support for TeX formats, including conversion of mathematical formulas to Unicode, MathML or Word equation objects.
- XML formats:DocBook, JATS, and other XML representations.
- Word processors:Microsoft Word (.docx), Rich Text Format (RTF), OpenOfficeLibreOffice Writer.
- Interactive notebooks:Jupyter notebook (JSON).
- Page layout:Typst, ConTeXt.
- Presentations:Slide show formats, including Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Data:Tables, CSV, TSV, Microsoft Excel.
- Serialization:Haskell AST, JSON and XML representations of the abstract syntax tree.
Particular attention is paid to PDF output formats. Pandoc does not generate PDF directly, but uses external engines: pdflatex, lualatex, xelatex, latexmk, tectonic, wkhtmltopdf, weasyprint, prince, pagedjs-cli, context or pdfroff.
Site Features
In addition to basic conversion, the project offers advanced capabilities for working with content:
- Extended Markdown syntax:Support for document metadata (title, author, date), footnotes, tables, lists of definitions, superscripts, strikethrough text, smart quotes, dashes and ellipses. It also supports inserting LaTeX mathematics directly into text.
- Citation and bibliographies:Built-in system for automatic generation of citations and bibliographies. You can use complex constructions like code[see @doe99, pp. 33-35]code, and the data can be stored in BibTeX, BibLaTeX, CSL JSON or CSL YAML formats. Hundreds of design styles are supported.
- Flexible customization:Template system and powerful mechanism for writing filters in Lua. Users can create their own reader and writer formats.
- Strict mode:If you want full compatibility with standard Markdown, all extensions can be disabled.
The site also provides access to the Pandoc API, PDF documentation, usage examples (Demos), and information on how to contribute to the project (Contributing).
FAQ
FAQ
Can Pandoc be used to convert mathematical formulas?
Yes. LaTeX mathematics (including macros) can be used in Markdown documents. When exported, formulas are converted to Unicode, native Word, MathML, or roff eqn equation objects, depending on the target format. For HTML, rendering methods are available through MathJax and MathML.
How does the citation system work in Pandoc?
Pandoc has a built-in automatic citation system. You write a citation in a special syntax (for example, @doe99), and the program automatically generates a correctly formatted link to the source and bibliography at the end of the document. Bibliographic data can be in BibTeX, BibLaTeX, CSL JSON or CSL YAML formats.
Does Pandoc support the creation of e-books?
Yes, the project supports conversion to EPUB version 2 and 3, as well as other documentation and markup formats suitable for creating books.
What if you want strict standard Markdown without extensions?
All additional syntax extensions (smart quotes, tables, footnotes, etc.) can be disabled to ensure full compatibility with strict Markdown.
