PanConvert For Mac

PanConvert is a handy utility that takes advantage of the extensive capabilities of Pandoc, a versatile command-line tool for converting documents between multiple markup formats.

It seeks to improve upon the latter by providing an intuitive GUI, making it accessible for users who prefer not to work with the command console.

Before anything else, you need to install Pandoc on your Mac, if you have not already done so. PanConvert attempts to locate the binary automatically, but you may have to set the path yourself from the app’s preferences.

Optionally, you can also provide the location of your Multimarkdown installation to enable conversion from Markdown to Lyx.

PanConvert offers support for all Pandoc formats and allows you to convert from HTML, Latex, Markdown and OPML to Latex, OPML, Markdown, HTML and Lyx.

Assuming you are familiar with the various Pandoc parameters, you can enter them in the 'Options' field, separated by semicolons. For some operations, the field can be left blank, but it needs to be filled when processing certain formats.

PanConvert can aid users who are not well versed in the Pandoc syntax, as it provides a series or presets for various conversion jobs. All you need to do is select the correct one, and you are good to go.

Moreover, the application is capable of processing multiple files in one operation. This feature could save you a significant amount of time and effort whenever large numbers of documents need to be converted.

On the whole, PanConvert is a handy app that provides a more intuitive alternative to using Pandoc from the command-line. It is relatively easy to use and offers multiple conversion presets, in addition to a batch processing mode.
