The default HTML-output generated by pandoc is polyglot HTML, i.e., it's both valid HTML and XML.
The `tidy` utility is a tool that can generate pure HTML; it can also shed a few bytes by omitting optional tags. E.g.

pandoc --to=html -s … | tidy -q -ashtml -omit

#pandoc #html #html5 #xml #tidy

New in pandoc 3.9:
Many CSL styles will format citations differently when the same source has been cited earlier. In documents with chapters, it is usually desirable to reset this position information at the beginning of every chapter. To do this, add the class `reset-citation-positions` to the heading for each chapter:

# The Beginning {.reset-citation-positions}

Note that this class only has an effect when placed on top-level headings; it is ignored in nested blocks.

New in pandoc 3.9: Passing a filepath with a `.zip` extension to the `--extract-media` command line parameter now collects all media files in that zip.
E.g.
pandoc --extract-media=images.zip …

#pandoc #zip #media_files

The Lua system now includes `pandoc.utils.documentation` for online help. Pass it a pandoc function or module, and it will return the docs for that object.

Pandoc is written in #Haskell (https://haskell.org), an advanced, purely functional programming language. It was chosen for its great parser support, which was ahead of its time when pandoc was born in 2006. The language is also uniquely suited for a long-lived project, as the strong typing helps tremendously to keep things maintainable.

The handling of formats can be tweaked by enabling or disabling format extensions. Running

pandoc --list-extensions=my_format

lists available extensions and their default status. Extensions are enabled by prefixing them with `+`, and disable with `-`:

pandoc --from my_format+enabled_extension-disabled_extension

Example: disable the smart handling of quotes, ellipses, etc in #Markdown with

pandoc --from=markdown-smart

#pandoc #formatExtension

#pandoc #Markdown tip: "backslash-escape" spaces to make them non-breaking. E.g.:
J.\ R.\ R.\ Tolkien
or
128\ cm
This prevents the surrounding words from ending up on different lines.
