autopandoc

This is a very basic and preliminary extension for Visual Code which is activated for any open Markdown file.

The extension parses the autopandoc entry in the YAML header and runs it on the autopandoc: Run Pandoc command, or with the Ctrl+P P (⌘+P P on Mac OS) shortcut

Example:

---
autopandoc: pandoc readme.md -o readme.pdf
---

or for slides, with beamer:

---
autopandoc: pandoc slides.md -o slides.pdf -t beamer --pdf-engine=xelatex
---

Note: The command is executed from the folder containing the current file.

Installation

You need to have pandoc installed, with, if need be, the proper LaTeX compilers.

Then, look for extension xoolive.autopandoc (or run ext install xoolive.autopandoc)

Development

npm install --global yo generator-code
