markdown | markdown tools , libraries & scripts

I can't seem to figure out if this is possible. Still trying to learn the tool - I've figured out how to run it on an input file and generate outputs, but would it be possible for it to, for example, take a text as an input and generate an output file.

For e.g., instead of

pandoc -i somefile.md -o -f markdown -t docx output.md

could I do

pandoc "# hello there! \n\nI went to the market" -o -f markdown -t docx output.md

Am I missing some option in the doc?

I want to use Python to read and write YAML frontmatter in markdown files. I have come across the ruamel.yaml package but am having trouble understanding how to use it for this purpose.

If I have a markdown file:

I am trying to style or format the hover message with MarkdownString but it always resulted in empty space or escaped everything but I found out that you can use span to style it but you can only apply color and background-color with this PR.

Right now, it's ugly as plain text can be, and even using table markdown is not working. Is there a way to improve this?

I'm writing it as follow:

My client wants to convert markdown text to word and we'll be using Pandoc. However, we want to control malicious submissions (e.g., a Markdown doc with 1000 externally hosted images each being 10 MB) that can stress/break the server when attempting to produce the output.

options are to regex the image patterns in the Markdown and test their size (or even limit the number) or even disallow external images entirely, but I wonder if there's a way to abort Pandoc if the produced docx exceeds a certain size?

Or is there a simple way to get the images and test their size?

I have a table that has some rows with normal JSON and some with escaped values in the JSON field (backslashes)

id obj 1 {"is_from_shopping_bag":true,"products":[{"price":{"amount":"18.00","currency":"USD","offset":100,"amount_with_offset":"1800"},"product_id":"1234","quantity":1}],"source":"cart"} 2 {"is_from_shopping_bag":"","products":"[{\ "product_id\ ":\ "2345\ ",\ "price\ ":{\ "currency\ ":\ "USD\ ",\ "amount\ ":\ "140.00\ ",\ "offset\ ":100},\ "quantity\ ":1}]"}

(Note: I needed to include a space after the backslashes in the above table so that they would show up in the github generated markdown table -- my actual table does not include those spaces between the backslash and the quote character)

I am doing a sql query in Hive to get the 'currency' field.

Currently I can run

I have been running a model for the past 24h (optimization of Neural Network parameters by Gaussian process). Tonight, haven't waked up properly form, I hand accidentally switched the cell to markdown and the layout disappeared. Anyway, the code is still running but I don't if the rest of the cells would execute correctly. I like you to tell me if the remaining cells would run as attended or if I should stop and start the whole notebook over again?

I'm trying to create a Unet for semantic segmentation.. I've been following this repo that has the code from this article. I'm using the scene parsing 150 dataset instead of the one used in the article. My data is not one-hot encoded so I'm trying to use sparse_categorical_crossentropy for loss.

This is the shape of my data. x is RGB images, y is 1 channel annotations of categories (151 categories). Yes, I'm using just 10 samples of each, just for testing, this will be changed when I can actually get it to start training.

I often create fairly large dashboards with R Markdown. Every time I create a new output (e.g., a new chunk containing an additional table or chart), I want to check for any display issues. My current workflow for doing this is slow for two reasons:

1. I want to test in the browser, but there doesn't seem to be an option to knit a document directly to the browser, so I have to knit to the default window and then click "Open in Browser" (see also here When knitting RMarkdown to HTML with RStudio, is it possible to view directly in browser, instead than previewing in a window?);
2. I do not know of a way to only knit a subset of chunks. For example, is there a way to knit in "test" mode, whereby only certain marked chunks are knitted?

Thanks for any advice.

If I use \FloatBarrier to maintain the desired order of the document, I get the following error and can't knit the PDF (specifically happens with PDF). It worked probably six months ago.
