reknih/rust-pandoc

Instructions

1. Install pandoc

2. add the pandoc crate to your Cargo.toml

   [dependencies]
   pandoc = "0.8"

3. create a pandoc builder and execute it

   let mut pandoc = pandoc::new();
   pandoc.add_input("hello_world.md");
   pandoc.set_output(OutputKind::File("hello_world.pdf".to_string()));
   pandoc.execute().unwrap();

PDF-output

Windows specific

install miktex or texlive, if your installation paths differ from the default use the add_latex_path_hint function to add them to the pandoc builder.

Common Issues

file not found errors

use add_pandoc_path_hint to add the actual path to pandoc search path. Under windows it can often be found in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Pandoc\, but that path is searched automatically by this crate.
