Pandoc Word Template

Pandoc supports Word templates (aka reference-doc) for efficient formatting. (see docs --reference-doc=FILE|URL, DOCX).

It is helpful to:

Check the style name in the generated Word document.
Open the Word styles gallery to modify styles.

Note

Pandoc reference documents do not support every detailed formatting step(such as tables). And they don’t have to! We simply reserve some time to format the final document (once) and work in Git/Markdown.

We store templates for IS journals in the templates repository.
