Fixing bugs from the issue tracker
----------------------------------
Almost all the bugs on the issue tracker have one or more associated tags. These
are used to indicate the *difficulty* and *nature* of a bug. There is not yet a
way to indicate priority. An up to date summary of issues can be found
[here](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/labels)
* [Enhancement] -- A feature which would be desirable.
* [Bug] -- A problem which needs to be fixed.
* [Minor] -- The fix should only be a couple of lines.
* [Major] -- The fix might require structural changes or in depth knowledge of
the code base.
* [Reader] -- A request to add a new input format.
* [Writer] -- A request to add a new output format.
* [docs] -- A discrepency or ambiguity in the documentation.
* [inprogress] -- Someone is actively working on or planning to work on the
ticket.
* [More discussion needed] -- It is unclear what the correct approach to solving
the ticket is. Before starting on tickets such as this it would be advisable to
post on the ticket.
* [More info needed] -- We require more information from a user before we can
classify a report properly.
