Pandoc is a Haskell library and command-line tool for converting documents between markup formats such as Markdown, HTML, LaTeX, DOCX, and EPUB.

It supports over 40 input and output formats, includes an extensible filter system for transforming document structure, offers templates and citation processing, and can generate standalone files with tables of contents, syntax highlighting, and cross-references.
