docker-pandoc

Test markdown using pandoc v2.9.n

Markdown

• https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

Pandoc

• https://pandoc.org/
• https://github.com/jgm/pandoc

Usage

• Start new container from a current markdown-project directory: $ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/data --name pandoc -h pandoc mokolea/pandoc:latest
• Optional: Set user and group IDs to override the default image user (1000:1000) by using parameter:
  • -u root for root user
  • -u $(id -u):$(id -g) for current host user (experimental - does not work without additional configuration)
• Subsequent use of the same stopped container: $ docker start -ai pandoc
• Create bash shell session in the already running container: $ docker exec -it pandoc bash

docker@pandoc:/data$ pandoc -o hello-world.pdf hello-world.md

docker@pandoc:/data$ pandoc -s -o hello-world.html hello-world.md --metadata pagetitle="hello-world"

TODO

• Add hello-world.md

Done

• Setup appropriate user to not run pandoc as root and so not have generated files from root in host file system
