Pandoc is an installer, runner and watcher for pandoc.

Profiles

You can define multiple pandoc profiles. By default, there is a profile called :default which you can configure its args, current directory and environment. You can make the args dynamic by defining a function.

config :pandoc,
  version: "3.6.1",
  default: [
    args: fn extra_args ->
      {_, [input_file], _} = OptionParser.parse(extra_args, switches: [])
      ~w(--output=../priv/static/posts/#{Path.rootname(input_file)}.html)
    end,
    cd: Path.expand("../documents", __DIR__)
  ]

Pandoc configuration

There are four global configurations for the pandoc application:

• :version - the expected pandoc version

• :version_check - whether to perform the version check or not. Useful when you manage the pandoc executable with an external tool

• :cacerts_path - the directory to find certificates for https connections

• :path - the path to find the pandoc executable at. By default, it is automatically downloaded and placed inside the _build directory of your current app

Overriding the :path is not recommended, as we will automatically download and manage pandoc for you. But in case you can't download it, you may want to set the :path to a configurable system location.
