8Pandoc aspires to be the swiss army knife of text markup formats: it

9can read markdown and (with some limitations) HTML, LaTeX, and

10reStructuredText, and it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML,

11DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, RTF, groff man, MediaWiki markup,

12GNU Texinfo, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and S5. Pandoc's markdown syntax includes

13extensions for LaTeX math, tables, definition lists, footnotes, and more.

15Since the last report, there has been one release (1.2.1).

16\begin{itemize}

17 \item Users may notice a significant speedup in reading markdown in

18 \verb!--smart! mode; the abbreviations parser has been made much more

19 efficient.

20 \item Default HTML output now wraps sections in divs with unique

21 identifiers. This should aid manipulation using javascript and

22 other tools.

23 \item We have made some progress in replacing the old POSIX shell

24 script wrappers with more portable Haskell wrappers.

25\end{itemize}
