I think TFA is unfair wrt pandoc's dependencies. I'm not sure if the listed "ecosystem" is what you need to build pandoc from source, or just the result of shitty packaging of pandoc from the OS package maintainers.
For the record, the .deb download from [1] gives you a 146MB statically linked pandoc executable that depends only on libc6 (>= 2.13), libgmp10, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4).

- zahlman 2y agoThe "Markdown" package on PyPI gives you a <1MB (including precompiled .pyc; excluding Pip, which is trivial with the know-how) virtual environment that depends only on the Python runtime. Pandoc is massive overkill if you're only interested in converting one format to one other format.
