Introduction

kppe is a Python wrapper around pandoc‘s Markdown2pdf, which parses the input for a few additional tags which pandoc does not support. The ability to select from one of several LaTeX templates is also included. As it wraps around Markdown2pdf, it is intended specifically for generating PDF documents via LaTeX with pandoc.

Some of the functionality of kppe is fairly heavily tied to my requirements for generating documents for the North Durban Lions Club and for Lions District 410C and Multiple District 410, but the code could be modified to suit a different set of PDF generation requirements. A template is also included which adds no specific headers or footers, but still supports the other kppe options, useful to me for non-Lions documents.

The odd seeming name is an acronym of “Kim’s Pandoc Python Extensions”.
