A Pythonic Version of Pandoc
[Pandoc] is the “document swiss army knife” made by [John MacFarlane]. It brings:
a command-line tool,
a Haskell library,
a document (meta-)model.
If you only need to convert some documents from one format into another (say Markdown to HTML or Markdown to PDF), the command line tool is what you need. But if additionally you need to analyze, create or transform documents, you may find this Python library useful, especially if you’re proficient in Python but don’t know Haskell.
[Pandoc]: http://pandoc.org/ [John MacFarlane]: http://johnmacfarlane.net/ [Haskell]: https://www.haskell.org/ [Python]: https://www.python.org/
The basic process is the following:
First, create a document; for example, read a Markdown text
>>> import pandoc >>> markdown = "Hello" >>> doc = pandoc.read(markdown) >>> doc Pandoc(Meta(map()), [Para([Str(u'Hello!')])])Then, analyze and/or transform the document as you like
>>> from pandoc.types import * >>> para = doc[1][0] >>> para Para([Str(u'Hello')]) >>> contents = para[0] >>> contents [Str(u'Hello')] >>> contents.extend([Space(), Str("World!")]) >>> doc Pandoc(Meta(map()), [Para([Str(u'Hello'), Space(), Str('World')])])Finally, output the new document as Markdown
>>> pandoc.write(doc) u'Hello World\n'and optionally, generate its HTML version
>>> pandoc.write(doc, file="doc.html") u'<p>Hello World</p>\n'
