Implementations

impl Pandoc

pub fn new() -> Pandoc

Get a new Pandoc object This function returns a builder object to configure the Pandoc execution.

pub fn add_latex_path_hint<T: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized>( &mut self, path: &T, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Add a path hint to search for the LaTeX executable.

The supplied path is searched first for the latex executable, then the environment variable PATH, then some hard-coded location hints.

pub fn add_pandoc_path_hint<T: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized>( &mut self, path: &T, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Add a path hint to search for the Pandoc executable.

The supplied path is searched first for the Pandoc executable, then the environment variable PATH, then some hard-coded location hints.

pub fn set_doc_class(&mut self, class: DocumentClass) -> &mut Pandoc

Set or overwrite the document-class.

pub fn set_show_cmdline(&mut self, flag: bool) -> &mut Pandoc

Set whether Pandoc should print the used command-line

If set to true, the command-line to execute pandoc (as a subprocess) will be displayed on stdout.

pub fn set_output_format( &mut self, format: OutputFormat, extensions: Vec<MarkdownExtension>, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Set or overwrite the output format.

pub fn set_input_format( &mut self, format: InputFormat, extensions: Vec<MarkdownExtension>, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Set or overwrite the input format

pub fn add_input<T: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized>( &mut self, filename: &T, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Add additional input files

The order of adding the files is the order in which they are processed, hence the order is important. This function does not work, if input has been already set to standard input using set_input.

pub fn set_input(&mut self, input: InputKind) -> &mut Pandoc

Set input for Pandoc.

The input is given with pandoc::InputKind and overrides any inputs already supplied.

Example

// pass in a string using standard input:
let markdown = "**very** _important".into();
let mut p = pandoc::new(); // assign to variable to increase life time
p.set_input(pandoc::InputKind::Pipe(markdown));

pub fn set_output(&mut self, output: OutputKind) -> &mut Pandoc

Set or overwrite the output filename.

pub fn set_bibliography<T: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized>( &mut self, filename: &T, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Set the file name of the bibliography database.

pub fn set_csl<T: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized>(&mut self, filename: &T) -> &mut Pandoc

Set the filename of the citation style file.

pub fn set_toc(&mut self) -> &mut Pandoc

Enable the generation of a table of contents

By default, documents are transformed as they are. If this option is set, a table of contents is added right in front of the actual document.

pub fn set_chapters(&mut self) -> &mut Pandoc

Treat top-level headers as chapters in LaTeX, ConTeXt, and DocBook output.

pub fn set_number_sections(&mut self) -> &mut Pandoc

Set custom prefix for sections.

If this function is called, all sections will be numbered. Normally, sections in LaTeX, ConTeXt, HTML, or EPUB output are unnumbered.

pub fn set_latex_template<T: AsRef<Path> + ?Sized>( &mut self, filename: &T, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Set a custom latex template.

pub fn set_slide_level(&mut self, level: u32) -> &mut Pandoc

Set the header level that causes a new slide to be generated.

pub fn set_variable<T: AsRef<str> + ?Sized, U: AsRef<str> + ?Sized>( &mut self, key: &T, value: &U, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Set a custom variable.

This method sets a custom Pandoc variable. It is adviced not to use this function, because there are convenience functions for most of the available variables.

pub fn add_filter<F>(&mut self, filter: F) -> &mut Pandoc

where F: 'static + Fn(String) -> String,

Add a Pandoc filter.

Pandoc parses any of the supported input formats to an abstract syntax tree (AST). If a filter is specified, it will receive a JSON representation of this AST and can transform it to its liking and add/modify/remove elements. The output is then passed back to Pandoc.

The provided filter function must live at least as long as the Pandoc instance, which will typically be achieved by making it a function, or else a closure which does not attempt to hold references to anything which isn’t 'static.

pub fn add_option(&mut self, option: PandocOption) -> &mut Pandoc

Add a PandocOption.

pub fn add_options(&mut self, options: &[PandocOption]) -> &mut Pandoc

pub fn arg<T: AsRef<str> + ?Sized, U: AsRef<str> + ?Sized>( &mut self, key: &T, value: &U, ) -> &mut Pandoc

Add a raw command-line argument. You should generally use one of the convenience functions instead.

pub fn generate_latex_template<T: AsRef<str> + ?Sized>(self, filename: &T)

generate a latex template from the given settings

Warning: this function can panic in a lot of places.

pub fn execute(self) -> Result<PandocOutput, PandocError>

Execute the Pandoc configured command.

A successful Pandoc run can return either the path to a file written by the operation, or the result of the operation from stdio.

The PandocOutput variant returned depends on the OutputKind configured:
