pandoc comes with an unbelievable amount of dependencies.
Notably the LaTeX dependency: on Mac the LaTeX distribution is a
whopping 2gb download.
It seems nice in theory, but in practice pandoc takes things like
\newpage (latex code fragments) in their Markdown input. And
Markdown already accepts HTML tags! I much prefer DDoc.
