What don't I use it for?

+ Static websites from any input to html

+ Markdown & TeX & References to pdf for academia

+ Generating manpages for new tools

+ Generating ebooks

... Let's just say I get a bit lost when it isn't available.

> + Generating manpages for new tools

Do any of your tools use long options (prefixed with a double dash)? If so, make sure you disable the "smart" extension, otherwise you might end up with en dashes.

[shakna]

Aye. I've got several long lists of options, depending on the project. Manpages might have been the most fiddly to get right.

OP said he doesn't use pandoc for such things. It's a list of things that have better tooling.

[icegreentea2]

Maybe he edited his post, but it now ends with "... Let's just say I get a bit lost when it isn't available. " suggesting that he actually does use pandoc for stated tasks.

[shakna]

I'm sorry if it came across that way. The list is what I use pandoc for. I use it for a lot, so much that I think I use it for every project.

I found it confusing too. You were supposed to use interrobangs (‽) instead of "?" :)

[shakna]

Would that not only be applicative if I were making an exclamation? Whilst instead, I was making a statement.

[kaushalmodi]

It sounded like a rhetorical question, and based on the context that you use it for a lot of things, I sensed a bit on excitement there too, and thus the exclamation.. like "Isn't that awesome‽".

What do you use for ebooks? Asciidoc?

[shakna]

A mix. Depends on the book.

For novels, I tend to just use Markdown, as kerning will be done in CSS.

For academics, I use LaTeX and Asciidoc together, but some paragraphs might be inserted in various other formats - whatever is easier. The build tool doesn't care what the format is, it'll take any input pandoc accepts.
