NAME Pandoc::Elements - create and process Pandoc documents SYNOPSIS The output of this script "hello.pl" use Pandoc::Elements; use JSON; print Document({ title => MetaInlines [ Str "Greeting" ] }, [ Header( 1, attributes { id => 'top' }, [ Str 'Hello' ] ), Para [ Str 'Hello, world!' ], ])->to_json; can be converted for instance to HTML with via ./hello.pl | pandoc -f json -t html5 --standalone an equivalent Pandoc Markdown document would be % Greeting # Gruß {.de} Hello, world! DESCRIPTION Pandoc::Elements provides utility functions to create abstract syntax trees (AST) of Pandoc documents. The resulting data structure can be processed by pandoc to be converted an many other document formats, such as HTML, LaTeX, ODT, and ePUB. See also module Pandoc::Filter and Pandoc::Walker for processing the AST in Perl. ELEMENT METHODS AST elements are encoded as Perl data structures equivalent to the JSON structure, emitted with pandoc output format "json". All elements are blessed objects in the "Pandoc::AST::" namespace, for instance "Pandoc::AST::Para" for paragraph elements. json Return the element as JSON encoded string. The following are equivalent: $element->to_json; JSON->new->utf8->convert_blessed->encode($element); is_block True if the element is a Block element is_inline True if the element is an inline Inline element is_meta True if the element is a Metadata element is_document True if the element is a Document element FUNCTIONS BLOCK ELEMENTS BlockQuote BulletList CodeBlock DefinitionList Div Header HorizontalRule Null OrderedList Para Plain RawBlock Table INLINE ELEMENTS Cite Code Emph Image LineBreak Link Math Note Quoted RawInline SmallCaps Space Span Str Strikeout Strong Subscript Superscript METADATA ELEMENTS MetaBlocks MetaBool MetaInlines MetaList MetaMap MetaString DOCUMENT ELEMENT Document Root element, consisting of metadata hash and document element array. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS attributes { key => $value, ... } Maps a hash reference into an attributes list with id, classes, and ordered key-value pairs. element( $name => $content ) Create a Pandoc document element.
