Historique du projet

Huub de Beer created Pandocomatic to automate Pandoc using Paru, the Ruby wrapper around Pandoc that the author wrote for this purpose. The project expanded from single-document conversion into reusable templates and recursive directory processing suitable for static-site generation.

The official manual describes internal templates embedded in Markdown metadata, external templates stored in YAML, template inheritance, preprocessors, postprocessors, setup and cleanup hooks, and incremental conversion of modified files.

Historique d'adoption

Pandocomatic is distributed as a Ruby application and through Homebrew. Its documented audience includes authors who want reusable conversion templates and maintainers using Pandoc as part of a directory-based publishing or static-site workflow.

Modes d'utilisation

Users place a `pandocomatic_` block in Markdown metadata or select an external template from a YAML configuration file, then run `pandocomatic` on a file or directory.

A template can set Pandoc options and arrange setup scripts, preprocessors, postprocessors, and cleanup steps. Directory mode can apply templates by glob, recurse through subdirectories, and rebuild only modified inputs.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Pandocomatic treats Pandoc invocations as reusable declarative configuration. It is useful when a long command line has grown into a build pipeline involving templates, metadata, preprocessing, postprocessing, and repeated directory conversion.

Its configuration hierarchy is particularly relevant to tool-oriented users: bundled defaults, shared data-directory configuration, project configuration, per-directory files, and command-line overrides can be composed rather than copied.

Chronologie

• Initial design: Pandocomatic automated Pandoc through the author's Paru Ruby wrapper.
• Expanded workflow: External templates, processors, configuration inheritance, recursive conversion, and modified-only builds made it usable as a static-site generator.

Related projects

• Pandoc performs the underlying document conversions. Paru is the Ruby interface Pandocomatic uses to run Pandoc.
