Converting mixed latex (lhs) + markdown to latex (lhs)

Converting mixed latex (lhs) + markdown to latex (lhs)

[Alessandro Vermeulen]

Dear all,

I'm seeking for a solution to convert blocks of markdown syntax within
a latex lhs file to another file in latex lhs but with the markdown
parts transformed to latex. E.g. a file containing the following:

```
    \documentclass{article}
    \begin{document}
    Some paragraph

    \begin{someliterallatex}
    \end{someliterallatex}

    * A markdown
    * list

    \end{document}
```

Should be converted into the following:

```
    \documentclass{article}
    \begin{document}
    Some paragraph

    \begin{someliterallatex}
    \end{someliterallatex}

    \begin{itemize}
      \item A markdown
      \item list
    \end{itemize}

    \end{document}
```

I have tried to this with vanilla pandoc with a combination of input
and output formats, but to no avail. Has someone done or tried this
before?

Cut out the document body, and run it through
'pandoc -f markdown -t latex'.  Literal LaTeX environments
will be passed through verbatim, and the rest converted from
markdown to latex. Then add in the preamble and
'\begin{document}...\end{document}'.

If you leave in the \begin{document}...\end{document}, pandoc
treats the whole thing as a literal latex environment and does
not convert markdown within it.

It seems I cannot reply to you directly fiddlosopher.

Thanks for the help. The only problem I have now is that I have text like 
the following in my source:

The transformation from a document into a table of contents can be
> implemented as a pure function with the (Haskell type) signature 
> |toc :: Document -> TableOfContents|.


The | and the > are transformed into LaTeX commands.

... function with the (Haskell type) signature
> \textbar{}toc :: Document -\textgreater{} TableOfContents\textbar{}. 


Also some comments are removed entirely (the ones that read like %text), 
comments that have a space after the % remain, but the % is prefixed with a 
\.

Can you suggest fixes or workarounds for this as well?

The |<haskell>| notation used in LaTeX literate Haskell is not
supported in pandoc's markdon literate Haskell.  You can use
backticks instead:  `toc :: Document -> TableOfContents`.

If they're in the first three lines of the document, then they're
being interpreted as a pandoc title block.  That's why they're
being removed (actually, they're being interpreted as document
title, author, date.) Note: pandoc markdown does not have a comment
syntax (aside from HTML comments). You can't use LaTeX comments in
markdown and expect them to be interpreted as comments.

What does that transformation?  Is that a lhs2tex-ism?

Code between |'s is inline code. So it will be typeset as such.

Re: Converting mixed latex (lhs) + markdown to latex (lhs)

[Tillmann Rendel]

Hi Alessandro,

if pandoc sees a | in markdown input, it assumes that you want a visible 
| in your final pdf output, so it produces \textbar in the latex output.

If pandoc sees some text enclosed in `, it assumes that you want literal 
code in your final pdf output, so it produces latex that will activate 
typewriter font etc.

So if you want pandoc to parse your inline code correctly, you need to 
enclose it in ` instead of in |. For example, you need to use `toc :: 
Doc -> TOC` instead of |toc :: Doc -> TOC|.



I am not sure what exactly you want to do, but I have a pandoc script 
that converts `...` in the input to |...| in the output. I use it to 
process the same file first with pandoc, and then with lhs2tex. Would 
that help you?

Where did you get this information from though?  I couldn't find
anything on that, and the Haskell report doesn't mention inline code
at all: http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/literate.html

As I understand it, this is not part of official literate Haskell; it's
a feature in the lhs2tex preprocessor.
