Folks that use both Pandoc and org-mode: how do you = use them together, and why?

I've only recently started using pandoc and I have exactly one use case: the need, in some cases, to produce a .docx document with mathematics. Pandoc will convert LaTeX to docx and handles equations reasonably well (not perfect but better than any other alternative I have found to date). The LaTeX generated by org is usually perfectly fine.

My personal use-case here is blogging: Nowadays, I'm writing my blog posts in Org and build the page using Hakyll[1], which is build on top of Pandoc. The work-flow is not perfect, in that metadata has to be specified separately as Hakyll ignores metadata returned by Pandoc, but it's good enough for what I want. I tried hacking something together using org's publishing features, but I found Hakyll/Pandoc to be more convenient and easier to use. Other uses include import of Markdown/HTML into Org documents and the use of Pandoc's support for references and citations; I rarely do that, though.

Hi Eric,

My &q= uot;solution" was a keyboard macro at the LaTeX stage, replacing

\ref{sec-3-2-1} with 3.2.1 in the text.

Not very elega= nt, but it works for the time being when I don't have the time to consi= der anything better.

A filter would obviously be better, but my elisp skills mean that= it would take more time than I have right now.

Also not a goo= d solution since it trashes the LaTeX file. In my case, that's OK since= the LaTeX file is just a means to an end.

Cheers,

Alan

The LaTeX generated by org is usually perfectly > fine. I've been playing around with Pandoc, and I've found that its ability to convert LaTeX to docx is rather limited. While it will convert equations and mathematical expressions reasonably well, it is not able to convert arrays that use things such as \hline or other formatting commands. This isn't surprising to me, but it means that arrays with special formatting need to be altered before using Pandoc. Scott Randby
