.TH PANDOC 1 "November 1, 2006" Linux "User Manuals"
.SH NAME
pandoc \- general markup converter
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pandoc
[
.I options
] [
.I input-files
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Pandoc
converts files from one markup format to another. It can read markdown
and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and it can write
markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, RTF, and S5 HTML slide shows.
.PP
If no
.I input-files
are specified, input is read from STDIN. Otherwise, the
.I input-files
are concatenated (with a blank line between each) and used
as input. Output goes to STDOUT. If you want output to a file,
use shell redirection:
.IP
.B pandoc input.txt > output.html
.PP
The default behavior of
.I Pandoc
is to convert the
input from markdown-formatted plain text to HTML. Different
input and output formats can be specified using command-line
options. For example,
.IP
.B pandoc -f latex -t markdown chap1.tex > chap1.txt
.PP
converts
.I chap1.tex
from LaTeX to markdown-formatted plain text.
See below for a detailed list of command-line options.
.PP
.I Pandoc
uses the UTF-8 character encoding for both input and output.
If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe
input and output through
.BR iconv :
.IP
.B iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | pandoc | iconv -f utf-8
