<h3>Background</h3>
|
|
<p>This app is a custom (i.e. not officially developed or maintained) app packaged for Cloudron.</p>
|
|
<p>It packages an instance of the excellent document conversion utility <a href="https://pandoc.org">Pandoc</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Pandoc only runs from the command line. By packaging it into a web app, a consistent publishing environment can be maintained in a single location (avoiding multiple local installs which might change over time) and be accessible from any device, even without Pandoc and its utilities installed.</p>
|
|
<p>It is based on Cloudron's tutorial-supervisor app and the "pandoc docker" app from <a href="https://github.com/vpetersson/docker-pandoc">Viktor Petersson</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Once the source Markdown and related images files are uploaded, click the button to process them.</p>
|
|
<p>The app will create a PDF, which must be downloaded to the local computer, as it cannot be retrieved later.</p>
|
|
<p>The source Markdown file will be moved to /app/data/done (in future version, it will be deleted).</p>
|
|
<p>Image files will not be moved, in case they are required for subsequent PDF creations, e.g.on updating and re-uploading the source Markdown file.</p>
|
|
<p>NB : currently source image files might be overwritten by other users of the app uploading a file of the same name but different content. Your document will then be. reated with the wrong image. If so, re-upload them and retry. This issue will be addressed in a future version.</p>
