74+If an up-to-date package is not available for your system, an
75+excellent way to install the latest release of pandoc is to
76+install the [Haskell platform] on your system, then use the `cabal`
77+tool:
78+
79+ cabal install pandoc
80+
81+This will download and compile pandoc and all of its dependencies. If
82+you want syntax highlighting support, add the flag `-fhighlighting`
83+(this requires that the [pcre](http://www.pcre.org/) library be
84+installed). If you want to install the wrapper scripts `hsmarkdown` and
85+`markdown2pdf`, add `-fwrappers`.
86+
87+Alternatively, you can download the [source tarball] and
88+follow the instructions in [INSTALL](INSTALL.html).
