pandoc-sidenote

Convert Pandoc Markdown-style footnotes into sidenotes

This is a simple Pandoc filter to convert footnotes into a format that can be consumed by Tufte CSS. On the whole, this project weighs in at well under 100 lines of code. Check out [SideNote.hs](src/Text/Pandoc/SideNote.hs) if you're curious how it works.

It's used by calling pandoc --filter pandoc-sidenote. To see it in action, see Tufte Pandoc CSS, a project which uses it. In particular, take a look at the Makefile included in that project.

The core functionality is also exposed as a library, which can be called by Haskell applications such as Hakyll.

Dependencies

pandoc-sidenote is build against a specific version of Pandoc. This table maps pandoc versions to pandoc-sidenote versions:

If a newer version of pandoc has been released, the Stack build manifest will need to be adjusted for that version, and the project then rebuilt.
