I'm pleased to announce the release of pandoc version 1.2
(uploaded today to HackageDB).
The most significant new feature is support for literate Haskell.
That is a very useful feature. It let's us mash-up pandoc and lhs2TeX
to create nicely formatted PDFs from literate Haskell formatted as
markdown:
pandoc --to=latex+lhs --custom-header=header.tex program.lhs |\
lhs2TeX --output=program && pdflatex program
The file header.tex must contain an appropriate document style and the
line
%include lhs2TeX.fmt
A slight drawback is that code written indented or between ~~~ (and
hence not meant to be executed) is converted to a `verbatim`
environment. As a consequence, lhs2TeX does not use the same
formatting as in code blocks. To fix this we can insert this in the
pipe:
sed s/\\begin{verbatim}/\\begin{spec}/ |\
sed s/\\end{verbatim}/\\end{spec}/
but of course this is hack, that does not work, if we want to write
the replaced strings somewhere in our document..
Unfortunately, I did not manage to use the citeproc extension to get
references in the text and a bibliography at the end of the latex
file, thus need to resort to \cite{...} in the source code and bibtex.
Nevertheless, a very useful tool!
Cheers,
Sebastian
