latex	latex
markdown_phpextra	beamer
	context

	markdown_github
	markdown_strict
	markdown_mmd
	markdown_phpextra
	commonmark
	plain
	rst
	mediawiki
	textile
	rtf
	org
	asciidoc

Installation

1. Pandex requires Pandoc to work. Install Pandoc for your operating system.

2. Add Pandex to mix.exs as follows:

   defmodule YourApp.Mixfile do
     defp deps do
       [
         {:pandex, "~> 0.1.1"}
       ]
     end
   end

3. Run mix deps.get to install Pandex.

4. Add Pandex your application block in mix.exs

   defmodule YourApp.Mixfile do
     use Mix.Project
   
     def application do
       [applications: [:logger, :pandex]]
     end
   end

Usage

Pandex follows the syntax of <format from>_to_<format to> <string>

Using with your app

defmodule YourApp do
  import Pandex

  def convert(string)  do
    {:ok, output} = markdown_to_html string
    IO.puts output
  end
end

You can also give a file as an input. The output will however be a string.

defmodule YourApp do
  import Pandex

  def convert(file)  do
    {:ok, output} = markdown_file_to_html file
    IO.puts output
  end
end
