We are also developing libraries that could be of interest to the wider Pandoc community: Diffing on Pandoc documents and conversions to & from Automerge and ProseMirror.
More details and updates in our GitHub repos: https://github.com/oktana-coop.
Finally, having a programmatic integration with Pandoc brings us in a very strong position to implement features like #citations using much less effort, but also in a way that makes sense for researchers and is interoperable with existing citation technology and compliant with standards.
We decided to integrate v2 deeply with Pandoc through a programming interface so that we can leverage its magic via v2’s user interface, and this gives us really advanced capabilities when it comes to imports, exports and in how we can interoperate with other tools like Markdown editors and word processors. v2 can already export to #markdown, #html, Docx and Pandoc native format in its alpha version because of this integration.
Fortunately, in the domain of rich text and scientific writing, there is one tool that is very mature and can actually provide #interoperability between various representations. @pandoc provides a data model that can serve as an intermediate representation which can be used to translate the same rich text concept across different input and output formats.
Interoperability in knowledge production and writing. Political economy and Pandoc. 🧵
v2 is standing on the shoulders of giants. It it built on top of Git, Pandoc, ProseMirror and Automerge (among other great tools and libraries).
Parts of it are written in #haskell while others in #typescript, with #webassembly being the bridge.

A deep dive into the technical stack, architecture, and challenges behind our new rich text editor, v2. We share our experience building a local-first cross-platform app, blending TypeScript (Electron) and Haskell (via WASM), and how our integration of Automerge, ProseMirror, and Pandoc enables seamless versioning and format conversion.
just noticed the release of Pandoc 3.10
i cannot live without it.
shout out to the developers ... keep up the good work!
I made a Pandoc parser that converts thorough comic scripts into streamlined tab-separated tables, so you can copy a column and import dialog into Illustrator/InDesign/CSP Story Editor for easier comic lettering.
@FictionFirstSystems
it really depends. if you use a markup language already supported in Pandoc that might be the road to Typst.
Pandoc can convert markup to Typst for PDF production.
I have made available a sample (wip) project that show to use Markdown with my optinionated extensions to produce book-style pdf.
This should be adaptable to most source-formats that Pandoc supports.
