Automate the use of pandoc

Overview

Pandocomatic is a tool that automates the use of pandoc, a document conversion program. It allows users to express common patterns of using pandoc for generating their documents. With Pandocomatic, users can create templates in a YAML configuration file to define the conversion settings for their documents. This tool simplifies the process of invoking pandoc with specific options each time a document needs to be converted.
