I'm pleased to announce the release of pandoc version 1.0.0.1. Pandoc aspires to be the swiss army knife of text markup formats: it can read markdown and (with some limitations) HTML, LaTeX, and reStructuredText, and it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, RTF, groff man, MediaWiki markup, GNU Texinfo, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and S5. Pandoc's markdown syntax includes extensions for LaTeX math, tables, definition lists, footnotes, and more.

It's basically a BibTeX-like system that one can use in any of pandoc's output formats. So you can have automatically generated citations in a blog post, a wiki page, or even a man page! It's not yet complete, but it's far enough along for those with an adventurous spirit to use. I am very grateful to everyone who contributed bug reports and code, and especially to Andrea Rossato and Peter Wang for their major contributions. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
