Hey guys !<div><br></div><div>My name's Damien Clochard and I'm here to talk about the pandoc docker images. I hope this is the right channel.</div><div><br></div><div>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:</div><div><br></div><div>https://github.com/dalibo/pandocker<br></div><div><br></div><div>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.&nbsp; 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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Well... that was a long introduction to&nbsp; this simple proposition :</div><div><br></div><div>Would you like to add a new official docker image named `extra` built upon the `latex` image that would include useful filters and templates ?</div><div><br></div><div>First and foremost, I think that the [eisvogel] template (and its latex dependencies) would be a great addittion</div><div><br></div><div>[eisvogel]:&nbsp;https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template</div><div><br></div><div>and we could also add nice filters such as&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>* pandoc-latex-environment</div><div>* pandoc-include</div><div><br></div><div>And some common open-source fonts&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>* DejaVu</div><div>* Liberation</div><div>* AwesomeFont</div><div><br></div><div>These elements are currently part of the `dalibo/pandocker` images and I would be happy to help adding them into a `pandoc/extra` image.</div><div><br></div><div>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</div><div><br></div><div>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...</div><div><br></div><div>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...&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Again I am willing to help and provide any experience from the `dalibo/pandocker` project.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway thanks again for this great software ( both pandoc and its docker images )</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>--</div><div>Damien Clochard</div><div><br></div>
