|Full description= 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) Textile, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX,
 +
MediaWiki markup, and DocBook XML; and it can write plain text,
 +
markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML, HTML 5, LaTeX (including beamer
 +
slide shows), ConTeXt, RTF, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, Word
 +
docx, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, EPUB (v2 or v3), FictionBook2,
 +
Textile, groff man pages, Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, and Slidy,
 +
Slideous, DZSlides, or S5 HTML slide shows. It can also produce PDF
 +
output on systems where LaTeX is installed.
 +
 
 +
Pandoc's enhanced version of markdown includes syntax for footnotes,
 +
tables, flexible ordered lists, definition lists, fenced code blocks,
 +
superscript, subscript, strikeout, title blocks, automatic tables of
 +
contents, embedded LaTeX math, citations, and markdown inside HTML
 +
block elements.  (These enhancements can be disabled.)
 +
 
 +
In contrast to most 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,
 +
via XeLaTeX it additionally requires texlive-xetex, and via LuaTeX
 +
additionally texlive-luatex.

Pandoc

http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/
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) Textile, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, MediaWiki markup, and DocBook XML; and it can write plain text, Markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML, HTML 5,

LaTeX (including beamer slide shows), ConTeXt, RTF, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, Word docx, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, EPUB (v2 or v3), FictionBook2, Textile, groff man pages, Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, and Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, or S5 HTML slide shows. It can also produce PDF output on systems where LaTeX is installed.

Pandoc's enhanced version of markdown includes syntax for footnotes, tables, flexible ordered lists, definition lists, fenced code blocks, superscript, subscript, strikeout, title blocks, automatic tables of contents, embedded LaTeX math, citations, and markdown inside HTML block elements (these enhancements can be disabled).

In contrast to most 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.

PDF output via PDFLaTeX requires the package texlive-latex-recommended, via XeLaTeX it additionally requires texlive-xetex, and via LuaTeX additionally texlive-luatex.
