| PackageDescription | general markup converter
Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting
from one markup format to another,
and a command-line tool that uses this library.
It can read markdown and (subsets of) HTML, reStructuredText,
LaTeX, DocBook, MediaWiki markup, Haddock markup,
OPML, Emacs Org-mode, and Textile,
and it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML,
LaTeX (including rendering as plain PDF or beamer slide shows),
ConTeXt, DocBook, OPML, OpenDocument, ODT, Word docx, RTF,
MediaWiki, Textile, groff man pages, GNU Texinfo, plain text,
Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, InDesign ICML, EPUB (v2 or v3), FictionBook2,
and several kinds of HTML/javascript slide shows
(S5, Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, reveal.js).
.
Pandoc extends standard markdown syntax
with footnotes, embedded LaTeX, definition lists, tables,
and other features.
A compatibility mode is provided
for those who need a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl.
.
In contrast to existing tools for converting markdown to HTML,
which use regex substitutions,
pandoc has a modular design:
it consists of a set of readers, which parse text in a given format
and produce a native representation of the document,
and a set of writers,
which convert this native representation into a target format.
Thus,
adding an input or output format requires only adding a reader or writer.
.
This package contains the pandoc tool.

PDF output via PDFLaTeX requires the package texlive-latex-recommended.
* XeLaTeX additionally requires texlive-xetex
* LuaTeX additionally requires texlive-luatex
* content with YAML metadata additionally requires etoolbox |
