# 👾 Computable Pandoc
Computable Pandoc is a [Pandoc filter] written in [Lua] for [literate] and
[natural] programming (LIN programming), i.e.: "[Programming \[...\] as the
process of creating works of literature][1]".
## Requirements
- [Pandoc] v3
if you decide to use `lin.min.lua` instead of `lin.bundle.lua`, you need to
install and preload the following rocks:
- [fennel]
- [lua-dog]
## Install
1. Go to [Releases].
2. Download the latest version of `lin.bundle.lua` or `lin.min.lua`.
3. Done!
## Usage
With `lin.bundle.lua` or `lin.min.lua` downloaded and Pandoc installed, do:
pandoc -L PATH/TO/lin.bundle.lua -t FORMAT DOC
For example, if `DOC` is `source.md` and the output `FORMAT` is HTML, do:
pandoc -L PATH/TO/lin.bundle.lua -t html source.md
## Manual
Learn how to do LIN programming [here].
## Develop
Clone this repo:
git clone https://git.cuates.net/perro/computable-pandoc.git
Enter the repo:
cd computable-pandoc
Inside, do the tests:
pandoc lua scripts/test.lua
For other kind of tests, do:
pandoc lua scripts/test.lua -h
For make distribution filter, do:
pandoc lua scripts/make_dist.lua
For make JSON (intented for testing asserts), do:
pandoc lua scripts/make_jsons.lua
For update Lua modules (needs [`luarocks`]), do:
sh scripts/get_rocks.sh
Contribute!
## Acknowledgments
This wouldn't be possible without these projects and their collaborators:
- [Pandoc][]: universal document converter and parser; handles the
requirements for LIN.
- [Lua][]: programming language; enables LIN.
- [Fennel][2]: [Lisp] dialect with full Lua compatibility; allows native
evals for Lisp.
