Pandoc is a command-line tool that can convert between numerous
|
||
|
|
markup and word processing formats, including, but not limited
|
||
|
|
to, various flavors of Markdown, HTML, LaTeX and Word docx. (See
|
||
|
|
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--from for a list of formats).
|
||
|
|
It can also produce PDF output.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pandoc's enhanced version of Markdown includes syntax for tables,
|
||
|
|
definition lists, metadata blocks, footnotes, citations, math, and much
|
||
|
|
more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because pandoc's intermediate representation of a document is less
|
||
|
|
expressive than many of the formats it converts between, one should
|
||
|
|
not expect perfect conversions between every format and every other.
|
||
|
|
Pandoc attempts to preserve the structural elements of a document, but
|
||
|
|
not formatting details such as margin size. And some document elements,
|
||
|
|
such as complex tables, may not fit into pandoc's simple document model.
|
||
|
|
While conversions from pandoc's Markdown to all formats aspire to be
|
||
|
|
perfect, conversions from formats more expressive than pandoc's Markdown
|
||
|
|
can be expected to be lossy.
