Hello,

 

Maybe there is a problem in my understanding or I my process, but I am struggling to effectively use pandoc in a writing project.

 

My process is:

 

I write my documents in markdown.

The documents include a lot of fenced code blocks both for html and javascript as well as example of interactive sessions in the terminal.

 

I convert my markdown files into docx files and send them to my editor.

She makes changes and sends the docx files back to me.

I convert the docx files back to markdown, but then I have to go in and fix all the fenced code blocks because they are not marked as fenced blocks any more.  Plus I have to fix any embedded links and graphics because the code for those have gotten split over two lines and they will not convert back to docx unless I have gone through and joined the lines back together.

 

Based on the articles I have read about using pandoc for writing projects it doesn't seem like the process should be this difficult, so what am I doing wrong?

 

The commands I am using for conversion are:

 

Markdown to docx:

Pandoc -s -f markdown -t docx -o project.docx project.md

 

Docx to markdown:

 

Pandoc -s -f docx -t markdown -atx-headers -o project.md project.docx

 

Any pointers to make the process work better would be greatly appreciated.
