Docker images in the pandoc/latex and pandoc/extra repositories have often had missing packages. The reason was the release of TeXLive 2026 and, what appears to be, a moody archive server for TeXLive 2025. The “latest” images, which contain the newest pandoc 3.9.0.2, come with TeXLive 2026 and […]

The default HTML-output generated by pandoc is polyglot HTML, i.e., it's both valid HTML and XML. The `tidy` utility is tool that can generate pure HTML; it can also shed a few bytes by omitting optional tags. E.g. pandoc --to=html -s … | tidy -q -ashtml -omit #pandoc #html #html5 #xml #tidy

New in pandoc 3.9: Many CSL styles will format citations differently when the same source has been cited earlier.

New in pandoc 3.9: Passing a filepath with a `.zip` extension to the `--extract-media` command line parameter now collects all media files in that zip. E.g. pandoc --extract-media=images.zip … #pandoc #zip #media_files

The Lua system now includes `pandoc.utils.documentation` for online help. Pass it a pandoc function or module, and it will return the docs for that object. #pandoc #onlineHelp #Lua
