Haddock markup, EPUB (v2 and v3), FictionBook2, InDesign ICML, Muse, LaTeX
beamer slides, and several kinds of HTML/JavaScript slide shows (S5, Slidy,
Slideous, DZSlides, reveal.js).

In contrast to most existing tools for converting Markdown to HTML, 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.

For pdf output please also install pandoc-pdf or weasyprint.");
