# Instructions
1. [Install pandoc](http://pandoc.org/installing.html)
2. add the pandoc crate to your Cargo.toml
```toml
[dependencies]
open = "*"
pandoc = { path = "D:\\rust_pandoc\\"}
```
3. create a pandoc builder and execute it
```rust
let mut pandoc = pandoc::new();
pandoc.add_input("hello_world.md");
pandoc.set_output("hello_world.pdf");
pandoc.execute().unwrap();
```
# PDF-output
## Windows specific
install [miktex](http://miktex.org/) or [texlive](https://www.tug.org/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.
