gulp-pandoc-pdf

gulp plugin for generating PDFs via pandoc.

Based off the excellent gulp-pandoc plugin.

Generating PDFs with pandoc requires the use of the --output flag to write the file to disk, rather than just the -t flag allowing the data to be streamed through gulp pipes.

This plugin simplifies generating the PDFs in the output directory you desire whilst also piping the data through the gulp pipeline in HTML format.

Installation

# shell  
npm install gulp-pandoc-pdf --save-dev 

Usage

Within gulpfile.js:

// javascript
 
var pdf = require('gulp-pandoc-pdf');
 
gulp.task('build', function() {
    gulp.src('src/markdown/**/*.md')
        .pipe(pdf({
            pdfDir: 'build/pdf'
        })) 
        .pipe(gulp.dest('build/html'));
});
