# Pandoc-Goodies

pandoc v2.7.2 | PP v2.8

A tresure-box of resources for pandoc, pp and the Texts word processor.

- https://github.com/tajmone/pandoc-goodies

Copyright © Tristano Ajmone 2017, [MIT License](./LICENSE).

The project is still WIP and in its early stages, but a pandoc html5 template is ready for use, along with a growing pp-macros library.

> **PROJECT UPDATED** — After over a year without updates, all repository assets have been updated to pandoc v2.7.2 and PP v2.8. Minor tweaks were required to ensure that everything worked fine as before. Also, the project now uses Dart Sass, instead of Ruby Sass.

## Pandoc HTML5 Templates

- [`/templates/html5/`](./templates/html5/)

Currently, there's only one template available:

## PP Macros

- [`/pp/`](./pp/) — The PP-Macros Library

The pp-macros section is an ongoing effort to create a collection of pp macros to extend pandoc's markdown workflow by providing means to use GFM task lists in markdown source file, external syntax highlighters, and many more features.

> **About PP**: PP is a text preprocessor designed for Pandoc (and more generally Markdown and reStructuredText). It's cross-platform and available as a single standalone binary file:

The skylighting CSS section contains resources for styling code blocks in HTML format — via CSS and Sass.

# Notes About Pandoc License

Some legal stuff you should be aware regarding the license terms governing pandoc and some of its built-in resources.

Pandoc is (c) 2006-2017 John MacFarlane, released under the **GPL v2** (or greater) license.

The built-in styles (aka syntax themes) that pandoc injects into the final documents also fall under the same **GPL v2** license as pandoc.

Pandoc's built-in default templates are dual-licensed — under both the **GPL** (**v2** or higher, same as pandoc) and the **BSD 3-clause** ("New" or "Revised") license:

- https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates

You should be aware that the built-in syntax highlighting styles are not part of the templates, and therefore are not subject to dual-licensing. Styles are added at conversion time (for those format that support highlighting). Since pandoc's default templates rely on the built-in styles, syntax highlighting might (depending on output format) automatically include into the final document a built-in style ("pygments", by default). Since highligthing-styles are governed by the **GPL v2** license (which demands same licensing), opting for the **BSD 3-clause** license might no longer apply to the final document if the template and the styling are woven together into a single file.

For a more detailed explanation regarding HTML templates and CSS styles, see:

- [/skylighting/css/built-in-styles/README.md](./skylighting/css/built-in-styles/README.md#license)
