The weasy eisvogel !

What's new in version 18.11 ?

Eisvogel, a new template for everyone

We're now shipping a latex template inside the image so that you can produce a
nice PDF without installing anything.

The template is called eisvogel and you can use it simply by adding
--template=eisvogel to your compilation lines:

docker run [...] --pdf-engine=xelatex --template=eisvogel foo.md -o foo.pdf

End of pandoc 1.x automatic support

Since version 18.03, we're using Pandoc 2 and starting with this version some
old parameters will no longer be supported. You need to check your compilation
lines and make the following changes :

• replace --latex-engine by --pdf-engine
• replace --no-tex-ligatures by --from=markdown-smart

As an alternative, you can also changer the entrypoint and call the pandoc1.sh
compatibility wrapper

docker run [...] --entrypoint=/usr/local/bin/pandoc1.sh [...]

Easy PDF with WeasyPrint

We're now publishing a dedicated image including WeasyPrint, alternative pdf
engine that generates PDF files from using HTML/CSS templates.

To use this template, you can simply use tag weasy:

docker run [...] dalibo/pandocker:weasy \
                    --pdf-engine=weasyprint` \
                    --pdf-engine-opt="--stylesheet template.css" \
                    --template=template.html \
                    foo.md \
                    -o foo.pdf

We're currently testing this new engine, please send us feedback if you're
using it too !
