Pandoc is a universal document converter that reads and writes a wide variety of markup formats. It is available as a command‑line tool and as a Haskell library.
Use cases
- convert a collection of Markdown files to PDF for publishing
- transform a Word docx document into an HTML website
- batch‑convert LaTeX papers into EPUB e‑books
- migrate legacy AsciiDoc documentation to reStructuredText
- generate slides from a Markdown source using reveal.js
When to choose
- You need a single tool that supports dozens of input and output formats.
- You prefer a command‑line workflow that can be scripted or integrated into CI pipelines.
- You require high‑quality PDF output via LaTeX or XeLaTeX.
- You want extensibility through Lua filters for custom processing.
When to avoid
- You need a graphical user interface for document conversion.
- You rely on Windows‑only installers that cannot use Lua filters with C modules.
- You need real‑time conversion in a web service without installing the full Haskell runtime.
