pandoc-cover

Add a PDF cover to document using an SVG template and the document metadata.

Currently, this only works if you are also using the eisvogel template

Example

1. Create a SVG template called foo.svg. Write {{ title }} in place of the title and {{ whatever }} in place of whatever information you want to appear on the cover.

2. Add title and whatever variables in your pandoc document (bar.md)

3. Disable the eivogel titlepage and define your SVG template as the titlepage background (bar.md).

4. The bar.md header should look like this:

   title: 'Hello World !"
   whatever: 'this is so simple'
   titlepage: false
   titlepage-background: 'path/to/foo.svg'
   

5. Launch pandoc with eisvgel and the pandoc_cover filter.

   pandoc --filter=pandoc_cover --template=eisvogel bar.md -o bar.pdf
