Panadoc

Panadoc is a handy tool that combines a Haskell library with a command-line feature to convert all sorts of markup formats. It’s super flexible since it can change files between different formats like Markdown, LaTeX, HTML, and even Word documents. Plus, you can check out the full list of supported formats here. And yes, it can also create PDF files!

Markdown Support and Extensions

This library isn’t just about basic formatting; it supports many cool Markdown syntax extensions! That means you can include things like document metadata, footnotes, tables, lists, superscripts and subscripts, strikethrough text, code blocks, smart quotes, dashes, ellipses, HTML blocks, and inline LaTeX. Best part? You can turn off any of these extensions if you don’t need them.

Math in Markdown

If you’re into using math in your documents (who isn't?), Panadoc lets you use LaTeX math and macros right inside your Markdown files. There are several ways to render the math when converting to HTML too! Options like MathJax or translation to MathML work great.

Citations Made Easy

Another cool feature of Panadoc is its built-in system for automatic citations and bibliographies. You can write your citations using simple syntax. The library will then format them properly according to various CSL styles and even add a bibliography at the end of your document. Talk about saving time!

Customizing Your Experience

You’ll love how customizable this library is! It includes a templates system so you can tweak things just how you want them. Plus, there’s an option for writing your own filters if needed. Each input and output format has its own module too—meaning if there's a new format you'd like to support, just create one!
