I should add: the above is about the only quibble I can think of, which is impressive. I love love love pandoc! It's a highly dependable and capable swiss army docs tool. I use it constantly, eg to help generate CLI help text and HTML,

Haskell (using https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/GUIDE/#script-interp... ). The downside: requires 1. installing stack and 2. waiting for it to install ghc and libs on first run of the script.

I hang out in a ton of FOSS projects' rooms / bridged IRC channels / other rooms I saw mentioned in discussion. I use it to give and receive support, to learn, and as an occasional break from work. https://view.mat
