It depends on click for CLI handling and pyyaml for configuration, and requires a matching Pandoc binary installed on your system to function.\n\nYou write a filter function that receives document elements (paragraphs, text, code blocks, etc.) and returns transformed versions of them. Panflute handles the marshalling between Pandoc's JSON representation and Python objects, so you work with readable class instances instead of raw data structures. This is most useful when you need to customize how Pandoc converts between formats\u2014for example, rewriting links, injecting metadata, or applying domain-specific transformations to code blocks.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to programmatically transform documents via Pandoc and want to avoid writing raw JSON filters. Install friction is low and the license is permissive. Be aware that the package has not been released in 877 days; check that your Pandoc version (2.11.0.4\u20133.1.x for version 2.3.1) is compatible before committing to it for production workflows."},"id":"panflute","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/panflute","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/panflute.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/panflute/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-03-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"panflute","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Pythonic Pandoc filters"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":169668,"position":10411,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.1"}
