TITLE: Pandoc CSS templates
DATE: 2018-08-20
AUTHOR: John L. Godlee
====================================================================
This is a showcase of different CSS templates which I have adapted
for use in Pandoc when converting from Markdown to HTML. Where
credit is due for the original css file I've included it in the CSS
file.
All the CSS templates and the raw html for inspection can be
downloaded from here.
[here](
https://johngodlee.xyz/files/pandoc_css/pandoc_css.zip)
I normally use the templates in the following way to get a truly
standalone .html file, which I can then email if necessary, or
convert to a pdf using wkhtmltopdf:
style={style.css}
pandoc -f markdown -t html5 --css=$style --standalone -o
output.html input.md
wkhtmltopdf output.html output.pdf
On to the templates:
blue_big
buttondown
chmduquesne_resume
github_pages
github
killercup
modest
panam
pandoc_tweak
pandoc
splendor
typewriter
Creating the images
For interest's sake, this is the short bash script I used to loop
over the css files to make the screenshots seen above:
#!/bin/bash
for i in /Users/johngodlee/.pandoc/templates/css/*.css; do
name=$(echo ${i##*/})
filename=$(echo "$name" | cut -f 1 -d '.')
pandoc -f markdown -t html5 --css=$i -H $i --standalone -o
"css_test_html/test_${filename}.html" test.md
done
Note that all of the .css files are wrapped in a <style
type="text/css"> ... </style>, which doesn't make any difference to
the way the stylsheet functions, but meas that I can use the -H
flag in pandoc to add the stylesheet contents to the head of the
html file, making it truly standalone.
