Pandoc to ICML

[TStone]

@AmberV

If you want it to assemble a generic document container for your content, thus making it something normal software can open, then use the -s flag in your arguments, or --standalone if you prefer self-documenting commands.

And if you do have some idea for how you want the total document to look and function, you might be interested in templates, which is the stuff it wraps around your content when using the -s flag. There are vanilla defaults of course, but review the Templates chapter in the Pandoc documentation for more information on that.

Thank you!
Ok, I formated some text in InDesign, with styles named the same as in Scrivener, then exported an ICML file and replaced its guts with Pandoc template variables, and copied it to $HOME/.local/share/pandoc/templates/.
Added a path to it in pandocomatic.yaml

In Scrivener Compile, I added -s to the cryptic command in the screenshot that was posted above:

-t icml <$inputfile> -s -o <$outputname>.icml and hit compile.

To my surprise, I got a working ICML file!
However, with depressing predictability, it didn’t make use of my template. The header came from somewhere else…

Any idea where the default ICML template can be found, and how to tell Pandoc to use my own template instead?
