Hi,

I tried sending this earlier but I failed

Pandoc default templates can be exported, e.g.:

$ pandoc -D html
$ pandoc -D markdown

See also https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/tree/main/data/templates

Pandoc templates can be included in pandoc calles, e.g:

$ pandoc -s --from=docx --to=html --template=/path/to/template.html /path/to/input.docx

the -s is very important as it activates standalone use (it might be automatically activated by using --template).

See attachment of an example template (I use for Docx)

Hope I was of any help.

Stephan.

How do I create visually good looking output from a file.

I have attached two documents a .docx and .ppt

To create these, all I did was hit new document and choose one of the existing template

If I have a .md file. How can I get it to physically look good and what tools are available

1. How do I create a template for  the output file being a .docx, a ppt, a pdf using templates
2. How do I create the templates
3. I am on a PC do I have to put the templates somwhere specific on my drive
4. Is there a place to see existing templates
5. What is the command I need to use to do that
6. Same question for HTML

If there is a video I should watch let me know. once again I am new to this and not a programmer.  I haven't found too many Pandoc videos

Thanks
Mark
