In other words, allow the text to flow except where there are specific paragraph breaks wrap=none tells pandoc to not wrap the text that it finds.

we now use pandoc with these parameters:.first we change into the folder where our Word document has been saved.Here is an explanation of this terminal command: $ pandoc -wrap =none -extract-media =images somefile.docx Locate the file just exported in the finder and change directory to there. Here is what we do once we have Pandoc installed.Įxport from pages to Word (make sure to use docx - the default) Pandoc is great but it does not offer Apple’s Pages as a source file format, so we need to use the Microsoft Word format as an interim.

Thanks to John Macfarlane, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, we can convert just about any document format to any other with this universal document converter. The challenge then was to take the Pages document and recreate as markdown for use here on this site, so the pages can be easily maintained. But, you can’t export to HTML or markdown. You can export to PDF, Word, Plain text and ePub. Pages is good at giving you options for export. Editing (and creating new pages) is better done with a markdown text editor. Making version changes needs to happen more frequently, these documents really need to be delivered as web pages.
APPLE PAGES TO WORD PDF
I think pages is a very nice word processor and I have been using for some time to build documents for my students, to either print out or convert to PDF for delivery on our Moodle pages.īut I don’t want to print this type of material anymore. The Pages file format is a proprietary format, and so we are dependent on the limited export features that the program itself provides. I wanted to convert these to markdown texts with the images (mostly screen grabs). I have a lot of documents authored with Apple’s Pages.
