@peanutbutter144 problem is lists with checkboxes look like this: https://mastodon.social/media/25GJs36rki_cDuMdbbI
i've tried with pandoc --from markdown_github f.md -o f.pdf but it's worse (it doesn't render LaTeX)
@jartigag does pandoc give you any error messages?
@peanutbutter144 no, it gives me the pdf file correctly, but it doesn't look the way i want
@jartigag hmm. Maybe LaTeX doesn't support checkboxes?
@peanutbutter144 sure, but maybe #pandoc doesn't support gfm (github flavored markdown) checkboxes https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3051
anyway, issues like this are kinda messy to understand for me ๐
@jartigag i was always able to just do
pandoc -s -o output.pdf input.md
and include $-fenced LaTeX in my markdown input
@er1n LaTex is working right, lists with checkboxes are the problem
@jartigag ahhhhhh, i see. what TeX code is it outputting for the list?
@er1n it's a gfm list of items with checkboxes, no TeX. as i read on its github issues, pandoc doesn't support these gfm checkboxes. long discuss here: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3051
@jartigag ....If you are writing stuff this crazy, why not just use LaTeX? It is super easy to make PDF
@Canageek i know, i used to use it ๐
i was just writing a short college test down, so i started with markdown and then i added a couple of math expressions
@jartigag Pandoc does not support the -[] syntax... that is only for github.
@lf_araujo a lua-filter was added 2 days ago to make #pandoc support these task lists [ ]/[x]
https://github.com/pandoc/lua-filters/tree/master/filters/task-list
@jartigag That is good to know.. thanks!
@jartigag Also, have a look at this builder I created for pandoc: https://lf-araujo.github.io/2017/12/28/mm-update.html
@jartigag You can use haroopad
is little bugged (I taste it on 2016-2017) and like it. You can export to HTML and PDF
@Nuria i used it last year too and i liked it. it didn't ocurred to me this time ๐
finally i got it with a brand new lua-filter called task-list (it's in pandoc's repo)
@jartigag pandoc <filename>.md -o <filename>.pdf
