Basic Usage

Two Versions of the GUI

You can select the Gui-Style in the Preferences
The Gui`s have a standard, manual and batch conversion mode
By switching the standard / manual mode in the new Gui-Style, you do not need to check / uncheck the standard checkbox

All Errors are written to a log window
A Counter of messages can be read in the main gui. If no error, occurred, there is no message
If you hide the log completely and nothing goes wrong, you don`t need the log viewer
If you are in batch-mode, a list of all the converted files is written to the log viewer
Look at the log viewer, if something unexpected had happend. If you need more information, go to the Discussion Forum on Sourceforge

These are the preconfigured standard converters. All documents are Standalone-Versions of the document.
Make sure the Standard-Conversion Checkbox is marked. Otherwise you have to use the manual converter
The Batch-Conversion Checkbox has to be unchecked
Chose one From Format
Chose one To Format. The formats should not be the same

The Standard – Checkbox has to be unchecked.
The Batch-Conversion Checkbox has to be unchecked
In the From-field you have to fill in the supported pandoc formats of the source format. A list of all From-formats is available via the ... Button at the end of the input field.
In the To-field you have to fill in the supported pandoc formats of the destination format. A list of all To-formats is available via the ... Button at the end of the input field.
In the Parameter field, all known pandoc parameters, separated via semicolon ';' can be used. A list of all options is available via the ... Button at the end of the input field.
For some formats the Parameter field can be left blank, for others it has to be filled.
To get a odt or epub file, you have to specify the name of the file. There is a working example for odt filled in already. The file will be saved in the same directory where the panconvert directory is saved, e.g. on MacOS it will be /Applications
The last parameter should not be closed with a ;
If you get a pandoc error, the syntax of the Parameter field is wrong.

Both the Manual and the standard conversion work in batchmode. See the help sections above.
First you have to decide if you want to convert a filelist or a directory
A directory can be converted recursivly
Files can be added from different locations. Only one format conversion at a time
A Filefilter can reduce the types of the processed files. E.g. markdown;md; for all types of Markdown files.
