This is a plugin for Janeway that provides a button for typesetters to automatically generate html files from user article submissions in docx/rtf. These files are first converted to markdown, and from there to html, and then registered as galleys of the original article.
(You can find plugin installation instructions in the README for the back_content plugin here)

Most of the package managers for Linux distributions offer older versions of Pandoc, and you need at least 1.13 for full docx support. Luckily, pandoc offers a compiled distribution in .deb format:
wget 'https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.19.2/pandoc-2.19.2-1-amd64.deb'
dpkg -i pandoc-2.5-1-amd64.deb
rm pandoc-2.5-1-amd64.debPandoc should now be available for all users to run, ensuring the plugin will work
