[$] Pandoc: a workhorse for document conversion

Pandoc is a document-conversion programthat can translate among a myriad of formats, including LaTeX, HTML, Office Open XML(docx), plain text, and Markdown. It is alsoextensible by writing Luafilters that can manipulate the document structure and perform arbitrarycomputations.Pandoc has appeared in various LWN articles over the years, such as my look at Typst and at the importance of free software to science in2025, but we have missed providing an overview of the tool. The February release of Pandoc3.9, which comes with the ability to compile the program to WebAssembly (Wasm), allowing Pandocto run in web browsers, will likely also be of interest.
