The command pandoc is a lightweight tool used for converting between various document formats. In the given command:
pandoc ${input-md} -s -o ${output-tex}
- ${input-md} refers to a placeholder for the input file in Markdown format. The actual file name or path should be provided here.
- -s stands for "standalone" and specifies that output should be a standalone document with a header and footer, rather than a fragment.
- -o ${output-tex} specifies the output file name or path for the converted document in TeX format. Again, you need to provide the desired file name or path using ${output-tex}.
Overall, this command leverages pandoc to convert a Markdown file (input-md) into a TeX file (output-tex) with a standalone document structure.
