-A user who wants a drop-in replacement for `Markdown.pl` may create
-a symbolic link to the `pandoc` executable called `hsmarkdown`. When
-invoked under the name `hsmarkdown`, `pandoc` will behave as if
-invoked with `-f markdown_strict --email-obfuscation=references`,
-and all command-line options will be treated as regular arguments.
-This approach does not work under [Cygwin], due to problems with
-its simulation of symbolic links.

 Synopsis:        Conversion between markup formats
 Description:     Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup
                  format to another, and a command-line tool that uses

-                 Pandoc extends standard markdown syntax with footnotes,

-                 features. A compatibility mode is provided for those

-                 In contrast to existing tools for converting markdown

-                 a modular design: it consists of a set of readers,
-                 which parse text in a given format and produce a native
-                 representation of the document, and a set of writers,

                  only adding a reader or writer.
