+\f[V]pandoc-server\f[R] [\f[I]options\f[R]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\f[V]pandoc-server\f[R] is a web server that can perform pandoc
+conversions.
+It can be used either as a running server or as a CGI program.
+To use \f[V]pandoc-server\f[R] as a CGI program, rename it as
+\f[V]pandoc-server.cgi\f[R].
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\f[V]--port NUM\f[R]
+HTTP port on which to run the server.
+Default: 3030.
+.TP
+\f[V]--timeout SECONDS\f[R]
+Timeout in seconds, after which a conversion is killed.
+Default: 2.
+.TP
+\f[V]--help\f[R]

+.SH API
+.SS Root endpoint
+.PP
+The root (\f[V]/\f[R]) endpoint accepts only POST requests.
+It returns a converted document in one of the following formats,
+depending on Accept headers:
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[V]text/plain\f[R]
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[V]application/json\f[R]
+.IP \[bu] 2
+\f[V]application/octet-stream\f[R]
+.PP
+If the result is a binary format (e.g., \f[V]epub\f[R] or
+\f[V]docx\f[R]) and the content is returned as plain text or JSON, the
+binary will be base64 encoded.
+.PP
+The body of the POST request should be a JSON object, with the following
+fields.
+Only the \f[V]text\f[R] field is required; all of the others can be
+omitted for default values.
+.TP
+\f[V]text\f[R] (string)
+the document to be converted.
+Note: if the \f[V]from\f[R] format is binary (e.g., \f[V]epub\f[R] or
+\f[V]docx\f[R]), then \f[V]text\f[R] should be a base64 encoding of the
+document.
+.TP
+\f[V]from\f[R] (string, default \f[V]\[dq]markdown\[dq]\f[R])
+the input format, possibly with extensions, just as it is specified on
+the pandoc command line.
