Scholdoc is a command-line utility that converts
ScholarlyMarkdown documents into the HTML5, LaTeX, and Docx
(OOML) formats. It is intended to facilitate academic writing
in a cross-platform, semantic-aware, plaintext format that can
be quickly used in modern publishing pipelines.
Scholdoc is implemented as (rather crude) fork of pandoc
,
and the command-line executable mostly retains the same user
interface (including the custom template and filter system).
It essentially understands a new input format
markdown_scholarly
(implemented in the markdown reader a
superset of markdown_pandoc
features), and limits itself to
HTML5, LaTeX, and Docx output.
Unfortunately, currently Scholdoc occupies the Pandoc
namespace. This is done to avoid problems when merging in
fixes and changes from the core Pandoc project, and to
potentially allow enhancements from Scholdoc to be contributed
back to Pandoc. It is thus not recommended to use the library
directly, as Scholdoc is not backwards-compatible with Pandoc,
to avoid confusion.
