The docs link to Hugo’s source code, which currently says this:
I’ve written about this in https://www.ii.com/hugo-markup-languages/, which discusses that you can tell Hugo to interpret a file as Pandoc with any of the following:
-
.pdc
file extension -
.pandoc
file extension -
markup: pdc
in YAML front matter -
markup: pandoc
in YAML front matter
I hope that’s helpful!
I’d love to hear about any tips for using Pandoc with Hugo because I need to do that with some of my old Tumblr tumbles, which I wrote in PHP-Extra-flavored Markdown.
