* How do I write a standalone document with pandoc.write? @ 2022-09-25 10:25 jcr [not found] ` <0a27b0df-a58b-4a4f-bb89-1a22e4ca6a07n-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: jcr @ 2022-09-25 10:25 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pandoc-discuss [-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1163 bytes --] How do I tell `pandoc.write` to produce a standalone Markdown document (with YAML metadata)? There's no `standalone` option for `pandoc.WriterOptions`. I thought setting a template might work, but it doesn't: the saved file does not contain a YAML block, even though the document has metadata. My attempt is below: ``` function write_markdown_file(doc, filename) local options = pandoc.WriterOptions{ template = pandoc.template.default('markdown') } local data = pandoc.write(doc, 'markdown', options) local file <close>, error = io.open(filename, 'w') if file == fail then io.stderr:write(string.format('Failed to write Markdown file: %s\n', error)) os.exit(1) end file:write(data) end ``` I'm using pandoc 2.19.2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.

The template needs to be compile for it to become usable: local options = pandoc.WriterOptions{ template = pandoc.template.compile( pandoc.template.default('markdown') ) } Pandoc's current behavior is a bit strange though. You can raise a bug for that if you'd like. -- Albert Krewinkel GPG: 8eed e3e2 e8c5 6f18 81fe e836 388d c0b2 1f63 1124 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I filed this bug, since I think an error should have been thrown for the invalid `template` value: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8321 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pandoc-discuss" group.
