Hi there, many thanks for this tool.

When pressing RET on a pocket item to open it with org-web-tools-read-url-as-org command as per the default setting - I get the error in the title.

Is pandoc required to be installed externally or do I need something like pandoc-mode?

I can however view items with eww when using: (setq pocket-reader-url-open-fn-map '((eww-browse-url "*")))

But it would be nice to open the item text in a window below with org.

The org-web-tools-read-url-as-org command requires that Pandoc be installed. That's how it converts web pages to Org files.

New user here. I just installed pandoc and can use in my cmd. I can also see it in my path variable, but I'm still getting the Searching for program: No such file or directory, pandoc. I'm using Doom Emacs in Windows 10.

@juanerasmoe You will need to ensure that the Pandoc executable is in the path that Emacs searches for executables.

Working now. Thanks.

For future reference, this is how I'm loading pocket-reader to fix this without messing the exec-path in my linux machine

(use-package! pocket-reader
  :init
  (when (memq window-system '(w32))
    (add-to-list 'exec-path "C:\\Program Files\\Pandoc")))
