Pandocker 20.02, the palindrome edition !
Paris, February 5th, 2020
What is this ?
Pandocker is a docker image containing a complete document production toolchain
based on pandoc with filters, templates, fonts, and the latex bazaar
It allows you to generate slides and documents without installing the required
depencies on your machine.
For instance to generate an EPUB file from a markdown source, you can simply
type:
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/pandoc dalibo/pandocker test.md -o test.epub
This image is available under BSD Licence and it has 2 main tags:
dalibo/pandocker:stableshould be used in production ( = 20.20 )dalibo/pandocker:latestis the development version
You can also retrieve older versions by their version number:
dalibo/pandocker:20.02, dalibo/pandocker:19.11, etc.

More templates, more fonts, more filters, more langs
This is new version brings several new items:
- 2 more filters: pandoc-crossref and pandoc-citeproc
- 2 more templates: leaflet and letter
- 2 more fonts: Noto and Deja-Vu
- All european languages are now supported
There's also some improvements on the existing tools:
- Pandoc has been updated to 2.9
- The [eisvogel] template has been upgraded to 1.4
Many thanks to @colindean and @DigitalTravelDuck for their contributions to these
features !
Using pandocker with pipes
It is now possible to run the pandocker image as a 'black box' by passing the
source file through a pipe and collecting the result on the standard output.
For example:
$ cat foo.md | docker run --rm -i dalibo/pandocker -t pdf > foo.pdf
This is useful if you want to use pandocker in a stream or when you don't want
to mount a docker volume. However, this method will not work if the source
document contains images or includes external files...
How to upgrade
docker pull dalibo/pandocker:stableIf you installed the toolchain locally, please read:
