check for latest version of pandoc

check for latest version of pandoc

[John O'Regan]

Hello All!

Sorry if this has come up before, but is there an easy way to check if
the version of Pandoc installed locally is the latest version?

I'm using Windows 10.

Thanks!

John

Dear John,
You can convert this (not really tested + simplistic) bash script to 
whatever its Windows equivalent would be and run it to check if the version 
you have is the latest (released on Github) or not.

```
#/usr/bin/env bash
a=$(curl https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest -s -L -I -o 
/dev/null -w '%{url_effective}' | cut -d'/' -f8)
b=$(pandoc --version | cut -d' ' -f2 | head -n1)
if [ "$a" = "$b" ]
 then echo 'latest'
 else echo 'not latest'
fi
```

Cheers,
Pranesh
