I'm a big fan of Pandoc. However, if you have a lot of tables in your document, ASCIIDOCTOR is a better choice to produce PDFs.
ASCIIDOCTOR has clear and superior table formatting syntax and more importantly it can work with CSV files. This way you don't have to copy paste data into your reports.

- criddell 10y agoI've never heard of ASCIIDOCTOR before. Thanks for the pointer.
- zzleeper 10y agoI agree that copy-pasting CSV files is undesirable, but there are several Pandoc filters, both in Haskell and Python, that allow you to embed CSVs into tables without much hassle.
- tome 10y agoSounds like the next format that pandoc should support :)
- FraaJad 10y agoIIRC, pandoc has asciidoc writer. ie., it can parse other formats and output asciidoc/tor format.
- type0 10y agoI wish pandoc was better on converting asciidoctor and not just asciidoc. Asciidoctor and asciidoctor.js is so much nicer than all those markdowns it's not even funny, wish I would have found it earlier so I wouldn't need to work with older markdown files or having to convert them.
