Setup

This tool has several dependencies,

• apache2
• php7.0
• pandoc
• wkhtmltopdf
• xvfb
• zip

from within Pandoc-Web-Interface/ run,

bash dependencies.sh

to install them. This only needs to be done once.

Next run,

bash setup.sh

To move necessary files to where they need to be. This needs to be done each time a new version of the Pandoc-Web-Interface is downloaded.

If Pandoc-Web-Interface is being reinstalled, run the following before setup.sh

bash cleanup.sh

Use

Upload individual .md files or a .zip archive of multiple .md files and associated assets to be converted to a number of output formats serverside.

To apply a custom stylesheet include it in the .zip archive and select the "custom" radio button. Selecting radio buttons other than "custom" will override a user-supplied stylesheet.

Converted files are zipped and directly downloaded in browser

Operation

Conversiton to PDF is done using the tool WKHTMLTOPDF:

.md -> Pandoc -> .html (w/ CSS) -> WKHTMLTOPDF -> .pdf
