Calling the pandoc executable under the name pandoc-lua
or with lua
as the first argument will make it function as
a standalone Lua interpreter. The behavior is mostly identical to that
of the standalone
lua
executable, version 5.4. All pandoc.*
packages, as well as the packages re
and lpeg
,
are available via global variables. Furthermore, the globals
PANDOC_VERSION
, PANDOC_STATE
, and
PANDOC_API_VERSION
are set at startup. For full
documentation, see the pandoc-lua
man page.
