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) reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX and Textile, and
it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, ConTeXt, Docbook,
OpenDocument, ODT, Word docx, RTF, MediaWiki, Textile, groff man pages,
plain text, Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, EPUB, and S5 and Slidy HTML slide
shows. 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.
