Hey, Grant Rettke g...@wisdomandwonder.com writes: Lately been hearing great things about Pandoc's ability to export to ebook formats and more. Folks that use both Pandoc and org-mode: how do you use them together, and why? My personal use-case here is blogging: Nowadays, I'm writing my blog posts in Org and build the page using Hakyll[1], which is build on top of Pandoc. The work-flow is not perfect, in that metadata has to be specified separately as Hakyll ignores metadata returned by Pandoc, but it's good enough for what I want. I tried hacking something together using org's publishing features, but I found Hakyll/Pandoc to be more convenient and easier to use. Other uses include import of Markdown/HTML into Org documents and the use of Pandoc's support for references and citations; I rarely do that, though.

Re: [O] Pandoc users, how do you use it with org-mode, and why?
Hi Eric,
My solution was a keyboard macro at the LaTeX stage, replacing
\ref{sec-3-2-1} with 3.2.1 in the text.
Not very elegant, but it works for the time being when I don't have the
time to consider anything better.
A filter would obviously be better, but my elisp skills mean that it would
take more time than I have right now.
Also not a good solution since it trashes the LaTeX file. In my case,
that's OK since the LaTeX file is just a means to an end.
Cheers,
Alan

I've only recently started using pandoc and I have exactly one use case: the need, in some cases, to produce a .docx document with mathematics. Pandoc will convert LaTeX to docx and handles equations reasonably well (not perfect but better than any other alternative I have found to date). The LaTeX generated by org is usually perfectly fine. I've been playing around with Pandoc, and I've found that its ability to convert LaTeX to docx is rather limited. While it will convert equations and mathematical expressions reasonably well, it is not able to convert arrays that use things such as \hline or other formatting commands. This isn't surprising to me, but it means that arrays with special formatting need to be altered before using Pandoc. Scott Randby

Re: [O] Pandoc users, how do you use it with org-mode, and why?
I'm using org-mode for a lengthy book. My editor has graciously agreed to edit the raw ord-mode files, thus eliminating yet another source of re-introduced errors. However, the publisher asks her to format in Word, so after all the editing is done, I need to convert to Word. Pandoc seems a good choice: org - latex - docx: the first step normal org export, the second step Pandoc. It is good EXCEPT my book contains many, many cross references. In docx they come out looking like: see [sec-3-4-2] when I want them to look like see 3.4.2. I'm still on a steep part of the learning curve, so don't know if Pandoc can be tweaked to fix this. I have also tried oolatex which is a part of the tex4ht suite. It does the right thing on cross references, but has some other minor problems. I have also used Pandoc to convert a friends Markdown to ePub. Slick and nice.
