Unlike many other Markdown to HTML converters that rely on regular expressions, Pandoc employs a modular architecture. This design includes a set of readers that interpret text in specific formats, creating a native representation of the document, alongside writers that transform this representation into the desired output format. This modular approach allows for the easy addition of new input or output formats by simply integrating new readers or writers.
It is important to note that while Pandoc aims for high fidelity in converting its own Markdown format to other formats, the intermediate representation may not capture all the nuances and formatting details of more complex document elements. For instance, while structural elements are preserved during conversion, specific formatting aspects like margin sizes may not be maintained. Additionally, certain intricate elements, such as complex tables, may not align perfectly with Pandoc's simplified document model, leading to potential loss of detail when converting from more complex formats to Pandoc's Markdown.
In summary, Pandoc 3.8.2.1 continues to solidify its position as a powerful tool for document conversion, catering to users who need flexibility and modularity in handling various markup languages while recognizing its limitations in terms of specific format fidelity.
