A note on Pandoc and Break On Single Newline

This option does not affect Pandoc parser.

You should be able to coerce Pandoc into breaking lines on single newline by setting the appropriate hard_line_breaks flag (See the Formats and Non-pandoc extensions of the Pandoc manual)

TL;DR: hard_line_breaks extension should do it.

Pandoc Options

If Enable Pandoc Parser is enabled, you need to specify:

• Path: Full path to pandoc executable, which pandoc on unix

• Commandline Arguments: The commandline arguments for pandoc need to be comma separated. Please note that arguments which take an argument like --filter should be defined as --filter=/path/to/exe instead of --filter /path/to/exe

• Markdown Flavor: Here you can define your Markdown flavor, as defined here Please note, that raw tex does not work when rendering markdown to html (see issue #46).

• Citations: Whether to use pandoc citation functionality.

Pandoc citations

If you have enabled Pandoc to render the markdown preview then you can enable citation replacement by enabling Pandoc Options: Citations on the MPP settings page.

MPP will now search for any file named bibliography.bib and custom.csl from the markdown's directory up. The first files that are matching will be used for Pandocs citations. You can change the filenames it is searching for by changing the options Bibliography (bibfile) and Bibliography Style (cslfile) on the settings page.

You can set a fallback bibfile and cslfile if the current repository has none of it's own.

Here is a small example how it works:

./
├── bibliography.bib     <-- will be used by README.md
├── custom.csl           <-- will be used by README.md & RANDOM.md
├── src
│   ├── bibliography.bib <-- will be used by RANDOM.md
│   ├── otherbib.bib     <-- will not be used as filename does not match
│   └── md
│       └── RANDOM.md
└── README.md

Effectively the arguments --csl=./custom.csl --bibliography=./bibliography.bib are used for ./README.md and --csl=./custom.csl --bibliography=./src/bibliography.bib for ./src/md/RANDOM.md
