FidusWriter-Pandoc

FidusWriter-Pandoc is a Fidus writer plugin to connect a Fidus Writer instance with Pandoc for document conversion.

NOTE: You should first install Pandoc and make it run as a server. It is included in the Ubuntu Snap version of Fidus Writer so that will be the simplest way to install it for 99% of users.

pip install fiduswriter[pandoc]

2. Add "pandoc" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting in the configuration.py file like this::

INSTALLED_APPS += (
    ...
    'pandoc',
)

3. Add a setting for the URL where you are running Pandoc in the configuration.py file like this:

PANDOC_URL = 'http://localhost:3030'

4. Create the needed JavaScript files by running this::

python manage.py transpile

5. (Re)start your Fidus Writer server.

Running pandoc as a server
