Hi,

Kind of like the title says. By default I was calling

 pandoc *.md -o pdf 

But i was wondering if there was a way I could supply a file containing the 
locations of the .md files i wanted in their order and locations. (I know 
that i could change the order by changing their names accordingly, but then 
I would also have to change any link names to those file. Would just like 
to see if this is doable before i start writing my preprocessor script!) :)

Thanks again everyone for all the help!!

Russ

On unix/linux this will work:

xargs pandoc -o my.pdf < list-of-files.txt
