+Synopsis: Functions for translating between various markup formats
+Description: Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup
+ format to another, and a command-line tool that uses
+ this library. It can read markdown and (subsets of)
+ reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and it can write
+ markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, Docbook, RTF,
+ groff man pages, and S5 HTML slide shows.
+ .
+ Pandoc extends standard markdown syntax with footnotes,
+ embedded LaTeX, definition lists, tables, and other
+ features. A compatibility mode is provided for those
+ who need a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl.
+ .
+ In contrast to existing tools for converting markdown
+ to HTML, which use regex substitutions, pandoc has
+ a modular design: it consists of a set of readers,
+ which parse text in a given format and produce a native
+ representation of the document, and a set of writers,
+ which convert this native representation into a target
+ format. Thus, adding an input or output format requires
+ only adding a reader or writer.
Build-Depends: base, parsec, xhtml, mtl, regex-compat
