Pandoc

Pandoc is a super handy Haskell library that lets you convert all sorts of markup formats easily. It supports a bunch of file types for both input and output, like HTML, DocBook, LaTex, markdown, OPML, EPUB, DOCX, textile, MediaWiki, and more.

Easy File Conversion

With Pandoc, you can work with different markdown syntax extensions. This includes things like metadata, footnotes, strikeout text, tables, definition lists, running example lists, dashes, smart quotes—pretty much everything you need to make your documents look great! You can switch files from one format to another without breaking a sweat.

Math Made Simple

If you're dealing with math stuff in your documents, don’t worry! Pandoc has your back. It supports LaTex math and even handles macros in markdown files. When it comes to rendering mathematics in HTML or working with DOCX files? It uses native Word equations to keep everything looking sharp.

Citations and References

Pandoc also shines when it comes to managing quotes and references. Thanks to the pandoc-citeproc component, it can translate formatted citations into the right style at the end of your document. It supports various bibliography database formats too—like bibtex, RIS, ISI, MODS and JSON.
