The aspect ratio of LaTeX Beamer presentations can be controlled via the `aspectratio` variable. E.g., to switch from the default 4:3 ratio of slides to the 16:9 HD format:

pandoc --to=beamer --variable=aspectratio:169 …

Docker images for pandoc 3.8.2.1 are now available on Docker Hub and the GitHub Container Registry.
New for this release: #Debian bookworm is now supported as a new choice for the base stack, making it an alternative to Alpine, Ubuntu, and static binaries.

Line breaks within a paragraph are treated as spaces in Markdown. However, this gives bad results in East Asian languages, where spaces between words are unusual. Use

pandoc -f markdown+east_asian_line_breaks

to ensure that line breaks between East Asian wide characters get ignored.

The extension also works with #CommonMark (commonmark), GitHub Flavored Markdown (gfm), and pandoc's CommonMark extension (commonmark_x).

Having to manually edit every 'chapter' (internal HTML file) in a Pandoc produced ePub to remove the empty <style type="text/css"> </style> block so it will pass pre-flight in Calibre is pretty annoying.

I've tried to find a way to get Pandoc to stop adding this blank block of style tags but I've been unsuccessful.

It's not the end of the world. It does suck. If someone knows how to stop this behavior, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I'm on Pandoc 3.6 if it matters.

Note: The above segment is basically what comes out of using the EPUB2 format. When using the default epub format, it instead outputs <style> </style>. I stripped the newlines out of each example.

What happened to pypandoc_binary over the last month. It went from 400k downloads / month, to 19.000.000 downloads / month. Keep in mind that the regular pypandoc has stayed at around 3.700.000 downloads / month.

Just, what the heck.

Also the number for pypandoc_binary is still climbing. Wonder how high it will go

Annoying issue I've had in LaTeX (Markdown to PDF with Pandoc): footnotes split over pages.

The fix:

Create a file called footnotes.tex with the following content:

\usepackage{footmisc}
\interfootnotelinepenalty=10000

Pass this in using --include-in-header argument to Pandoc:

%.pdf: %.md
gpp $< | pandoc --include-in-header=footnotes.tex -o $@

Of course, another fix would be 'stop writing paragraph-length footnotes where you go off on a tangent', but that's unlikely...
