Pandoc is a free-software document converter, widely used as a writing tool (especially by scholars)[1] and as a basis for publishing workflows.[2] It was created by John MacFarlane, a philosophy professor at the University of California, Berkeley.[3]

Functionality

Pandoc dubs itself a "markup format" converter. It can take a document in one of the supported formats and convert only its markup to another format. Maintaining the look and feel of the document is not a priority.[4]

Plug-ins for custom formats can also be written in Lua, which has been used to create an exporting tool for the Journal Article Tag Suite, for example.[5]

CiteProc

An included CiteProc option allows pandoc to use bibliographic data from reference management software in any of five formats: BibTeX, BibLaTeX, CSL JSON or CSL YAML, or RIS.[6] The information is automatically transformed into a citation in various styles (such as APA, Chicago, or MLA) using an implementation of the Citation Style Language.[6] This allows the program to serve as a simpler alternative to LaTeX for producing academic writing in Markdown with inline citation keys.[7] Or the program can be used to convert any bibliographic data stream in the accepted formats into a list of citations in a chosen style.[8]

Supported file formats

Input formats

The input format with the most support is an extended version of Markdown.[9] Notwithstanding, pandoc can also read in the following formats:

Output formats

Pandoc can create files in the following output formats, which are not necessarily the same set of formats as the input formats:
