The newly released [pandoc 1.14](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/tag/1.14) now reads and writes CommonMark! (Use `--to commonmark` or `--from commonmark`). So you can convert **from CommonMark** to several different variants of Markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML, HTML 5, LaTeX, ConTeXt, DocBook, OPML, OpenDocument, ODT, Word docx, RTF, MediaWiki, DokuWiki, Textile, groff man pages, plain text, Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, Haddock markup, EPUB (v2 and v3), FictionBook2, InDesign ICML, and beamer, slidy, dzslides, S5, or reveal.js slide shows. You can also convert **to CommonMark** from reStructuredText, Textile, HTML, DocBook, LaTeX, MediaWiki markup, TWiki markup, OPML, Emacs Org-Mode, Txt2Tags, Microsoft Word docx, EPUB, Haddock markup, or other Markdown variants. Pandoc’s default `markdown` is still its own fairly full-featured variant. Making its core CommonMark-compliant is on the TODO list. ---

The conversion to groff manpage uses specific extensions? (I’m interested since I’d like to convert a large corpus of texinfo and I’d like to keep the output as good or better) ---

Is there a windows version? The current release page only has osx and Linux packages. ---

+++ lu\_zero [May 28 15 18:36]: > The conversion to groff manpage uses specific extensions? (I’m interested since I’d like to convert a large corpus of texinfo and I’d like to keep the output as good or better) Just try it, and see how it does. Generally pandoc does well on the structure that is common to Markdown, but anything very texinfo-specific may get converted in a lossy way. ---

I found a problem with the Windows build soon after release, so I pulled the msi, but I’ll have a new fixed version (1.14.0.1) out tonight, so check again in a little while. ---
