% 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, groff man pages, S5 slide shows--generated natively,
with no XSLT postprocessing.
- Converts *to* markdown from HTML, LaTeX, and reStructuredText.
- Unicode support.
- Optional "smart" quotes, dashes, and ellipses.
- Document metadata (title, author, date).
- Inline LaTeX math and LaTeX commands.
- [ASCIIMathML] support for equations in HTML.
- Footnotes, tables, and definition lists in all output formats.
- Automatically generated tables of contents.
- 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.
