pandoc-tools v1.1.1

Pandoc Tools for node and js

Pandoc is the Cadillac of Markdown engines, and is amply served with npm modules. This module, built primarily to support my pandoc-svelte-components library, plugs a few gaps.

Most importantly for me, it provides a Rollup plugin for importing markdown files directly inside a svelte-kit project as JSON. I can (and may) support html exports as well, but the JSON format is the place where pandoc allows really interesting things to happen.

Currently supported formats:

• markdown
• IPython notebooks
• Microsoft Word (docx) files.

Usage in a vite project with sveltekit.

// vite.config.ts
import { sveltekit } from '@sveltejs/kit/vite';
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { pandoc_rollup_plugin } from 'pandoc-tools';

export default defineConfig({
	plugins: [pandoc_rollup_plugin({ cache_loc: 'posts_cache' }), sveltekit()]
});

// src/routes/+page.svelte
<script>

import { metadata, document } from "front_page.md"
import { Document } from 'pandoc-svelte-components'

</script>

<h1>{metadata.title}</h1>
<em>{metadata.date}{/em}

<Document ast={document}>

RELEASE NOTES
