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
-(like an _abstract syntax tree_ or AST), and a set of writers, which convert
+(an _abstract syntax tree_ or AST), 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. Users can also
run custom [pandoc filters] to modify the intermediate AST.
