Which Pandoc Plugin?

#1

I have got a question for those who use ST to write pandoc.

Which pandoc plugin do you think is best?

I am currently using Pandoc Academic for the syntax highlighting and colour scheme. I manually compile from Pandoc to PDF or whatever my required target format is, using the command line. If I wanted to do it from within ST which do you recommend?

In package control I find the following:

Reading the descriptions of each leaves me in the dark as to which of these is best and has what features. Pandown may possibly be the most flexible and powerful, but it’s hard to tell at this stage. Any opinions?

I wrote the Pandoc plugin.

I have not used Pandoc (Markdown) – It only takes markdown as input.

Pandown is more sophisticated than Pandoc – it utilizes the sublime build system, and works best I think when you’re writing multiple (source and/or destination) documents to file.

Pandoc is simpler, it takes the current window and transforms its contents, and can write to current/new window or file.

Thanks very much for the rundown, that was very useful.

Sounds like I may end up with a combination of your Pandoc plugin and Pandown for complex builds (or perhaps I’ll just stay on the command line!).
