🆕 pandoc 3.9 🎉🚀
• Official support for wasm (WebAssembly), allowing to run pandoc in the browser,
• the *alerts* extension is now available in the pandoc Markdown flavor,
• support for defaults files using JSON instead of YAML,
• extension of `${.}` vars in the `defaults` field, making it easier to base defaults files on other defaults,

• and much more
Many thanks to all who contributed!
“pandoc for the people”, the pandoc wasm web-app, is now available at https://pandoc.org/app/
It allows to run any kind of document conversion that pandoc supports in the browser. The documents never leave the computer, thus ensuring *full privacy*.
Conversions to pdf are done via Typst.
Sooo, how do you know that the documents won't leave your pc though? I mean you won't notice any code changes going forward, so even if you monitor your network traffic right now...
@agowa338 If you want to be absolutely, 110% certain that no data leaves your device, then put your browser into "offline mode" after loading the app. Firefox has an option for that in the “File” menu, and most other browsers allow to do it via the developer tools console, under the “Network” tab.
But if that's a real concern for some reason, then consider to run a dockerized version of pandoc instead. A container without network access gives similar guarantees.
