Pandoc is a versatile Haskell library designed for converting files between various formats via the command line. Its modular design includes readers that parse source text to create a native document representation, which is then converted to the desired format. While Pandoc strives to maintain document structure, some formatting elements like margins and complex tables may change. To use Pandoc, you need to execute commands in the command line. For instance, to convert a .txt file to .html, you would use: `pandoc MANUAL.txt -o example1.html`. Pandoc supports a wide range of input formats including bibtex, docx, epub, html, latex, markdown, and many more. It can convert these to numerous output formats such as asciidoc, beamer, docx, epub3, html5, pdf, pptx, and more. With Pandoc, you can seamlessly transform documents to suit your needs, making it an essential tool for anyone working with multiple file formats.
Pandoc is okay. It definitely does the job for basic conversions, but I hit a few snags. Some of my documents didn’t format correctly, and it made things frustrating. Worth a try, but I'm hesitant about heavy usage.
