% Pandoc features
- A real markdown parser, not based on regex substitutions.
- [More accurate] and [faster], in many cases, than `Markdown.pl`.
- Multiple output formats--HTML, Docbook XML, LaTeX, reStructuredText,
RTF, S5 slide shows--generated natively, with no XSLT postprocessing.
- Converts *to* markdown from HTML, LaTeX, and reStructuredText.
- Unicode support.
- Support for footnotes.
- Support for "smart" quotes, dashes, and ellipses.
- Support for document metadata (title, author, date).
- Support for inline LaTeX math and [ASCIIMathML].
- Support for inline LaTeX commands.
- Compatibility mode to turn off syntax entensions and emulate
`Markdown.pl`.
- Convenient wrapper scripts:
+ `html2markdown` makes it easy to produce a markdown version
of any web page.
+ `markdown2pdf` converts markdown to PDF in one step.
+ `hsmarkdown` is a drop-in replacement for `Markdown.pl`.
- Multi-platform: runs on Windows, MacOS X, Linux, Unix.
