You need Emacs 24.2, org-mode 8.2, and Pandoc 2.0 (or later versions). Pandoc-Citeproc 0.3 (or later) may also be needed if you use bibliography features.
Note that Org-mode equipped with Emacs 24.3 is version 7.9 and can not be used with this tool. It is recommended to install Pandoc via Cabal, or the installer directly downloaded from official web sites, as other package managers (such as Anaconda) sometimes install old versions of Pandoc.
You can install this tool with MELPA. For example,
(setq package-archives
'(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))M-x package-install ⏎ ox-pandoc ⏎
For example, to convert org-mode file to ‘html5’ format, you may run the following commands.
org-pandoc-export-as-html5- Exports to the HTML5 text as a buffer.
org-pandoc-export-to-html5- Exports to the HTML5 text file.
org-pandoc-export-to-html5-and-open- Exports and open HTML5 file.
Similar commands are prepared for various formats.
You can specify the default options for each document format and hooks.
org-pandoc-options- General Pandoc options.
org-pandoc-options-for-FORMAT- Format-specific options.
org-pandoc-after-processing-FORMAT-hook- Hook after processing
FORMAT. This hook is only available to text-fileFORMAT. org-pandoc-epub-rights- EPUB Copyright Statement.
Options should be specified by an alist. List of valid options are
defined in org-pandoc-valid-options. Only long-name options can be
used. after-processing options can not be specified to epub,
docx or pdf formats. For preprocessing hooks, use
org-export-before-processing-hook.
Multiple values can be specified to options defined in
org-pandoc-colon-separated-options. They should be defined in
colon-separated list.
Values of options defined in org-pandoc-file-options will be
expanded to full path if they begin with ~ (tilde) character.
You can also specify output format extension with
org-pandoc-format-extensions variable.
For example:
;; default options for all output formats
(setq org-pandoc-options '((standalone . t)))
;; cancel above settings only for 'docx' format
(setq org-pandoc-options-for-docx '((standalone . nil)))
;; special settings for beamer-pdf and latex-pdf exporters
(setq org-pandoc-options-for-beamer-pdf '((pdf-engine . "xelatex")))
(setq org-pandoc-options-for-latex-pdf '((pdf-engine . "pdflatex")))
;; special extensions for markdown_github output
(setq org-pandoc-format-extensions '(markdown_github+pipe_tables+raw_html))Following document-specific options can be specified. Value nil
overrides preceding option setting. Value t means only specify
option, but not its value. Options are delimited by space.
#+PANDOC_OPTIONS: can be specified multiple times. If you want to
specify the option value which include space character, quote entire
option-value pair.

As pandoc supports many number of formats, initial
org-export-dispatch shortcut menu does not show full of its
supported formats. You can customize org-pandoc-menu-entry variable
(and probably restart Emacs) to change its default menu entries.
If you want delayed loading of `ox-pandoc’ when
org-pandoc-menu-entry is customized, please consider the following
settings in your init file.
(with-eval-after-load 'ox
(require 'ox-pandoc))This file is inspired by org-pandoc, but entirely re-written. This tool prepares various export commands for all formats supported by pandoc.
This file creates and removes “XXXX.tmpZZZZ.org” and “XXXX.tmpZZZZ.css” (if necessary) temprary files in working directory. (ZZZZ is random string.)
Following options are supported in previous version of ox-pandoc.
They are no longer supported.
EPUB_METADATA:- obsolete. Use
epub-metadatainPANDOC_OPTIONS:instead. EPUB_STYLESHEET:- obsolete. Use
epub-stylesheetinPANDOC_OPTIONS:instead.
Currently, Pandoc citation key is expressed as @key, rather than {\cite key} . You may need some text converter if you want to use Pandoc citation styles in org document.
