history

Project history and usage

Panache is a formatter, linter, and language server for Markdown, Pandoc Markdown, Quarto, and R Markdown documents.

Project history

Panache was developed by Johan Larsson as a Rust-based formatter, linter, and language server for Markdown-family formats, with particular emphasis on Pandoc Markdown, Quarto, and R Markdown.

The official changelog records a 1.0 release in February 2026 with a basic formatter, language server, parsing, completion, and automatic flavor detection. Subsequent releases added linting, broader syntax coverage, integrations, and more project-aware language-server behavior.

Adoption history

Panache entered the Pandoc-family authoring ecosystem as a Rust tool that applies the same parser to formatting, linting, and language-server features. Homebrew and Nix packaging make it available outside editor-specific extension channels.

Its documented integrations cover editors, command-line checks, pre-commit hooks, and CI, allowing one configuration and diagnostic model to be reused throughout an authoring workflow.

How it is used

Users run panache format, panache lint, or panache lsp locally and can apply the same behavior in editor and CI integrations.

Configuration is discovered from project TOML files, PANACHE_CONFIG, or a platform-specific user configuration directory. The nearest project configuration takes precedence.

Why package nerds care

Panache targets a gap left by generic Markdown tools: Pandoc, Quarto, and R Markdown constructs such as fenced divs, citations, attributes, math, tables, and executable code chunks require dialect-aware parsing.

Package users may replace separate formatter, linter, and language-server installations with one binary, while retaining project-level TOML configuration and a generated JSON Schema for editor validation.

Timeline

2026-02-11: Version 1.0.0 introduced the formatter, language server, parser, completion, and flavor detection.
2026-02-12: Version 2.0.0 added the linter and expanded formatting behavior.
2026: Subsequent releases broadened Pandoc-family syntax, editor features, integrations, and configuration.

Related projects

Pandoc is the document-conversion engine and syntax family around which much of Panache's dialect support is organized. The official comparison also distinguishes Panache from focused tools such as mdformat, Marksman, and rumdl.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
