| PackageDescription | general markup converter - profiling libraries
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, 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, 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.
