Pandoc as webservice

Pandoc as webservice

[Martin Fenner]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1017 bytes --]

Dear list,

I am currently using pandoc locally on my computer to convert md to html 
files to be hosted by Github Pages - for a book on Open Science hosted at 
http://book.openingscience.org. I would like to do the same with a Pandoc 
webservice that ideally is triggered every time a markdown file changes or 
every 24 hours. I'm pretty sure someone has done this before. Can you 
provide some pointers and/or feedback?

Thanks,

Martin

Dear Martin,

slightly off-topic, but if you are using GH pages, there is no real need to
turn md to HTML as Jekyll does that.
See e.g. or homepage at http://rapport-package.info/ and the sources at
https://github.com/Rapporter/rapport/tree/gh-pages/_includes

Best,
Gergely

Gergely,

thank you for your answer, but I should have been clear that I need to use 
Pandoc as markdown to HTML converter - I use citations (and some other 
Pandoc-specific features).

Best, 

Martin

Well, that makes sense. Then another slightly off-topic idea: you could set
up a pre-commit hook in your local git repository, so that it could convert
your md files to HTML automatically before commiting the changes.

I promise I won't bother you with any other alternate solution :)

Best,
Gergely

Thanks again Gergely, and again my fault for not giving all relevant 
details. There are multiple contributors to the markdown files and that is 
why running Pandoc locally is not the best solution. I want to generate the 
HTML file whenever someone pushes a changed markdown file into the Github 
repo.

I'm happy to build something that listens to Github webhooks, converts the 
changed markdown file to html and pushes this back to Github. I'm currently 
using Jekyll to do this locally, so I would probably do this in Ruby, e.g. 
as a Sinatra app with a minimal API around the jekyll build command. But 
before I embark on this I want to make sure someone hasn't done this 
already.

Best, 

Martin

Hi Martin,

No solutions here but I do want to give you words of encouragement. I was 
originally gonna suggest using a deploy web hook to your server to a 
directory monitored by one of those node.js/grunt-based build systems<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/wiki/Pandoc-Extras#wiki-workflow> running 
in a cron job. However, I think a lightweight restful API standard would do 
wonders for further markdown adoption in authoring.

I'm kinda facing similar problems myself recently (shoehorning pandoc into 
a Drupal CMS), and things would certainly be easier if the markup filtering 
could be done through a web service. It is certainly going to be the best 
thing for online scholarly markdown authoring short of implementing 
pandoc/citeproc in native JS or Ruby. If I don't have my hands full on 
another project for the foreseeable future I'd certainly be looking at 
writing something like this.

cheers,
Tim

Why not have the authors use a source control system (Subversion, Mercurial,
git, whatever), and trigger the pandoc on a CI server? This is similar to
what the Pragmatic Press authors do. O¹Reilly, too.

Ted, thanks a lot, this is a great idea and I see that other people have done something similar. One variation is to use something like Heroku instead of a CI server, e.g. with https://github.com/himynameisjonas/heroku-deployer/,. I will report back when I have this working.

Re: Pandoc as webservice

[Martin Fenner]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 9593 bytes --]

I have now written a solution to have the Travis CI continous integration 
server run Jekyll with Pandoc when I push a change to a Github repo. This 
works really well, only drawback is that Travis CI needs to do a "cabal 
install pandoc pandoc-citeproc" every time. Still better than having this 
running as a webservice all the time. Caching by Travis CI and a PPA for 
Ubuntu 12.04 with the most recent Pandoc version would speed things 
up. This also works for people who have other reasons to build Jekyll sites 
themselves, e.g. custom plugins - a plain Jekyll site takes a little over a 
min to build and push back to Github. Travis CI is free to use for Open 
Source projects.

The project is described in more detail 
at https://github.com/mfenner/jekyll-travis, it is basically a set of 
instructions and some sample files. One example repo using this workflow 
is https://github.com/openingscience/book. At this stage it is still a 
hack, but I think this makes building static websites with the help of 
Pandoc a little easier. We are for example using http://prose.io/ to make 
small changes to the markdown in an online editor, and 
Github/Travis/Jekyll/Pandoc can now automatically convert to HTML and 
update the website of the book.

Best,

Martin

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 10209 bytes --]

Thanks a lot for the work Martin, this looks extremely useful. (And I'm 
embarrassed to think that Travis CI can't build Pandoc in a timely fashion, 
having seen that "The Travis CI build passed" notification in so many pull 
requests, even if it does take 12 minutes or so).

Re: Pandoc as webservice

[Martin Fenner]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 11167 bytes --]

Thanks Tim. Travis offers a Haskell platform, so that is a good start. I am 
sure there are faster ways to install the latest stable Pandoc on Ubuntu 
12.04 than with "cabal install pandoc pandoc-citeproc", so I hope this list 
can give some recommendations. I would think a PPA would be great, and I 
have also seen the download of a Pandoc 1.12.3 binary in another travis.yml 
script: https://github.com/hadley/adv-r/blob/master/.travis.yml. I would be 
happy if I can get down the build time to under 2-5 min, depending on the 
number of documents. Without Pandoc - i.e. using Travis CI with Github 
Pages and Jekyll very similar to what Github is doing - the build takes a 
little bit over a minute for a small website.

Best, Martin

For markdown->html, it's a sufficietly thin wrapper around pandoc.
Not sure how regularly it's updated, but currently has pandoc 1.12.0.2: 
https://github.com/Docverter/docverter/blob/master/.vendor_urls 

Travis still sounds like a more natural approach for reacting to commits 
and converting many files.

Dear list,

I have changed the Travis script to install a Pandoc binary (1.12.3, thanks 
to Hadley Wickham and RStudio). Travis now takes less than 30 seconds to 
build a VM with a recent Pandoc, so that the overall process of converting 
markdown to HTML and pushing to Github Pages can be done in 2-5 minutes 
(installing Ruby gems for Jekyll is now the slowest part). Example 
.travis.yml at https://github.com/mfenner/jekyll-travis

Best, Martin

Hi guys! 

I've wrapped Pandoc in a web service. Feel free to use it.
