I use pandoc—and its flavor of markdown—to create my webpages,
slides, PDFs, and Word files. Ironically, the only place I don’t use it
is here, on a markdown-based blog, where I have been stuck with Pelican’s more limited markdown
parser.
The one hitch is that you have to convert your markdown files with
pelican metadata to pandoc YAML metadata. I wrote pel2pan.py
for this.
