Hello,
what I want:
I want a function which converts a markdown-formatted string to a
latex-formatted string

I have a extern tool pandoc which does exactly what I want, but it
works on files. This tool is able to work as a pipe, so it uses
the standard input and standard outpu.
What I could do:
def markdown_to_latex (m : string)
write the string m to a file
call pandoc to work on that file
read the outputfile into the string l
return (l)
What would be nice:
I would like to avoid the extra steps writing an reading extern files.
subprocess is your friend here. Something like:

You can also use the io.StringIO class of the stdlib, which is more suitable
for this use case.
Not for running external tools, surely?
