Manage the install/update/uninstall of Pandoc extras (filters, templates, etc.)
Pandocpm does not replace your usual package manager: pip,
cabal, etc.
In pandocpm, there are 2 kinds of packages: simple, or not simple.
- A simple package means it is a single file, standalone package (e.g. a simple filter written in python that is a single file, a template which by its nature has to be a single file, etc.)
- A non-simple package will be installed by external package managers,
e.g.
pipandcabal. pandocpm do not help you to install these package manager. It simply runs the neccessary commands to install a particular package. (And of course it won’t help you to resolve any dependencies issue either.) Helpful messages will be shown to direct you to install a particular package manager. See more below.
It is designed to be a one-stop shop for any pandoc related packages, be it filters, templates, csl, panzer setup, etc. It
- automates the process of copying these packages, and
- provide a shortcut to commands required to install packages managed by other existing package managers.
Moreover, base on the infrastructure created in pandocpm, an auto-gallery will be provided for package discovery, which encourage code-reuse and to build upon one another’s workflow.
To install pandocpm, open the command line and type:
pip install pandocpm- Requires Python 3.2 or later.
- On windows, the command line (
cmd) must be run as administrator.
pip uninstall pandocpm
After cloning the repo and opening the pandoc-extras folder:
python setup.py install- installs the package locally
python setup.py develop- installs locally with a symlink so changes are automatically updated
