Community Plugins List

This plugin is now installable in the community plugins list. You must install Pandoc first if you have not already.

Manual Installation (not recommended)

  1. Install Pandoc if you have not already (without Pandoc only the HTML export works)
  2. Visit the latest release on the releases page.
  3. Download the main.js, styles.css and manifest.json files individually (the ZIP download doesn't include everything)
  4. Create or empty the folder vault/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-pandoc
  5. Copy the downloaded files into that folder
  6. Reload Obsidian
  7. Enable it in the community plugins settings menu
  8. :tada: it (hopefully) works!

Troubleshooting

A common issue is that the settings page will display the red error message Pandoc is not installed or accessible on your PATH. This plugin's functionality will be limited.

If you encounter this issue:

  1. Open the plugin settings and scroll to the bottom
  2. There is a setting called Pandoc path. Set this setting to:
    • Mac/Linux: the output of which pandoc in a terminal
    • Windows: the output of Get-Command pandoc in PowerShell

After fixing it, relaunch Obsidian and it should (:crossed_fingers:) work!
