Development has ceased on panzer. Over the years, pandoc has gained powerful new functionality (e.g. the --metadata-file option and Lua filters) that means that 90% of what can be done with panzer can be done with pandoc and some simple wrapper scripts. I no longer use panzer in my own workflow for this reason.

If you would like to take over development of panzer, let me know.

My personal .panzer files.

Install to $HOME/.panzer/ to use them.

Note this useful experience from fredcallaway described here: #6

I struggled for a long time trying to generate a pdf with panzer foo.md -o foo.pdf before realizing that the command should be panzer foo.md -o foo.tex. It might be worth including that information somewhere for other wandering souls :)

There are 2 ways to generate a pdf in pandoc/panzer:

1. Quick-and-dirty by passing .pdf as the output extension to pandoc/panzer
2. Writing .tex and using a postflight script to compile to pdf

My .panzer files use (2).
