Pandocker 22.12: Major upgrade

Paris, Decembrer 19, 2022

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. It is also very usefull to integrate pandoc into
a CI workflow such as Github Actions, Gitlab Pipelines, etc.

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 4 main tags:

• stable should be used in production
• stable-full for non-european languages
• latest and latest-full are the development versions

You can also retrieve older versions by their version number:
dalibo/pandocker:19.11, dalibo/pandocker:21.02-full, etc.

• Upgrade to pandoc 2.19
• Upgrade from TexLive 2016 to TexLive 2022
