Text.Pandoc

This helper module exports the main writers, readers, and data structure definitions from the Pandoc libraries.

A typical application will chain together a reader and a writer to convert strings from one format to another. For example, the following simple program will act as a filter converting markdown fragments to reStructuredText, using reference-style links instead of inline links:

module Main where
import Text.Pandoc
import Text.Pandoc.Error (handleError)

markdownToRST :: String -> String
markdownToRST = handleError .
  writeRST def {writerReferenceLinks = True} .
  readMarkdown def

main = getContents >>= putStrLn . markdownToRST

Note: all of the readers assume that the input text has '\n' line endings. So if you get your input text from a web form, you should remove '\r' characters using filter (/='\r').
