It is basically a markdown to anything converter. In addition to markdown it handles raw LaTeX, thus math can be set using LaTeX (and AMS) environments. In addition to LaTeX and ePub it will create odt, docx or docbook output. How much math survives depends on the output format. (This may be bad news for ePub output.) There is even a LaTeX reader which can be used to convert the original LaTeX document to markdown. But be prepared to lose math, images and tables. There is an article in the TUGboat 32:3 (2011) that describes the use of pandoc to generate LaTeX output. (There are articles about converting LaTeX to ePub and using PDF on various ebook readers as well.)

There are two schools of thought when it comes to documenting programs and libraries: some embed fragments of code within the documentation (so called “literate programming”) and others embed fragments of documentation in their code (i.e. comments). The “comments” approach makes it easy to generate API documentation and the like (a feature built-in to Haskell’s Hackage system) but help me write blog posts and other documents containing code, which is where literate programming shines. Happily, Haskell supports both of these approaches and has a few rather useful tools available to make both easier. In this post, I’ll describe how to take literate Haskell with Markdown formatted text and produce syntax highlighted documents in HTML and PDF.

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
