11+How to get the source
12+---------------------
13+
14+Source tarballs can be found at
15+<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc>. The tarball
16+for a particular version `VERSION` can be found at
17+
18+ https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc-VERSION/pandoc-VERSION.tar.gz
19+
20+**Do not use the automatically generated tarball that can be
21+downloaded from pandoc's GitHub releases page.** It does not
22+include some essential template files, which come from a GitHub
23+submodule.
24+
25+If you want the latest development code, you can fetch it
26+by cloning the repository:
27+
28+ git clone https://github.com/jgm/pandoc
29+ cd pandoc
30+ git submodule update --init # to fetch the templates
31+
32+Note: there may be times when the development code is broken
33+or depends on other libraries which must be installed
34+separately. Unless you really know what you're doing, install
35+the last released version.
