Pandoc

Pandoc is a super handy universal markup converter you can use right from PowerShell. It's built on Haskell and supports a ton of formats like Markdown, MultiMarkdown, PHP Markdown Extra, CommonMark, LaTeX, MediaWiki Markup, reStructuredText, GitHub-Flavored Markdown, DocBook, Muse, EPUB, Word DOCX, ODT, and so many more.

Features of Pandoc

This software is packed with all sorts of options and settings for those who really know their stuff. It keeps tabs intact and tracks changes like a pro! Plus, it can parse raw data effortlessly. If you want to create some cool HTML slideshows, it can do that too using Slidy, DZSlides, reveal.js, S5, or Slideous. You can even whip up custom writers using Lua programming language!

Markdown Conversions Made Easy

Pandoc also knows how to detect various markdown syntax extensions to convert your data into the new file format seamlessly. This includes tables, definition lists, smart quotes—think ellipses and dashes—subscript and superscript text effects too! You won’t have to worry about document info either; it handles titles, authors' names and dates like a champ.

Citations and Bibliographies

Need to convert citations or bibliographies? Pandoc has got your back with its special tool called pandoc-citeproc.exe. It works with several bibliography databases including JSON citeproc, MEDLINE, EndNote, MODS, RIS, and bibtex. Want to customize your templates? No problem! You can build them from scratch using your own settings and filters.
