Pandoc Documents for Python
Project description
Pandoc (Python Library)
This README is about the 2.x branch of the library (alpha stage!).
Getting started
Install the latest version with:
$ pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/boisgera/pandoc.git
The Pandoc command-line tool is a also required dependency ; you may install it with :
$ conda install -c conda-forge pandoc
Overview
This project brings Pandoc's data model for markdown documents to Python:
$ echo "Hello world!" | python -m pandoc read
Pandoc(Meta({}), [Para([Str('Hello'), Space(), Str('world!')])])
It can be used to analyze, create and transform documents, in Python :
>>> import pandoc
>>> text = "Hello world!"
>>> doc = pandoc.read(text)
>>> doc
Pandoc(Meta({}), [Para([Str('Hello'), Space(), Str('world!')])])
>>> paragraph = doc[1][0]
>>> paragraph
Para([Str('Hello'), Space(), Str('world!')])
>>> from pandoc.types import Str
>>> paragraph[0][2] = Str('Python!')
>>> text = pandoc.write(doc)
>>> print(text)
Hello Python!
Pandoc is the general markup converter (and Haskell library) written by John MacFarlane.
