Hey guys !
My name's Damien Clochard and I'm here to talk about the pandoc docker
images. I hope this is the right channel.
I work for a French PostgreSQL company named 'DALIBO' where we produce **a
lot** of documents with pandoc, and I'm the maintainer of the
`dalibo/pandocker` image here:
https://github.com/dalibo/pandocker
We started this project in 2016 because at the time there was no official
`pandoc/latex` image and because we are using a lot of extras things around
pandoc : filters, fonts, templates, etc. A long the way, the image became
popular, we gained users from outside our company with different needs (
e.g.the Noto fonts for non-european langs ) and the project kinda grew
further than what was initially planned.
Anyway the pandocker image was based on debian stretch and when the
official `pandoc/latex` was released we could not easily switch back to it
because we went in antoher direction with our own image.... However
recently we managed to release a new version based on `pandoc/ubuntu:2.19`.
This is a great step for us and we are grateful towards this community for
all the great work you have achieved.
Well... that was a long introduction to this simple proposition :
Would you like to add a new official docker image named `extra` built upon
the `latex` image that would include useful filters and templates ?
First and foremost, I think that the [eisvogel] template (and its latex
dependencies) would be a great addittion
[eisvogel]: https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template
and we could also add nice filters such as
* pandoc-latex-environment
* pandoc-include
And some common open-source fonts
* DejaVu
* Liberation
* AwesomeFont
These elements are currently part of the `dalibo/pandocker` images and I
would be happy to help adding them into a `pandoc/extra` image.
As far as I know, [eisvogel] is the most active and well designed latex
template in the community. And integrating an advanced template directly
inside the docker image is **really** useful for newcomers and more
generally anyone not familiar with `tlmgr` and the nightmare of handling
latex dependencies :-D
Think of it as a `batteries included` version of the pandoc docker image
where users would have access to pandoc AND the best PDF templates AND a
curated list of nice filters...
Of course there might be other templates and filters worth considering but
let's start with a small subset of components that we could agree on...
Again I am willing to help and provide any experience from the
`dalibo/pandocker` project.
Anyway thanks again for this great software ( both pandoc and its docker
images )
Regards,
