+Pandoc is a command-line tool for converting from one markup format to
+another. It can read markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML,
+and LaTeX, and it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX,
+ConTeXt, PDF, RTF, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML, ODT, GNU Texinfo,
+MediaWiki markup, groff man pages, and S5 HTML slide shows.
+
+This requires ghc, haskell-binary, haskell-digest, haskell-zlib,
+haskell-zip-archive, haskell-mtl, haskell-parsec, haskell-xhtml, and
+haskell-network.
+
+Note: Pandoc normally refuses to build with Parsec 3 as it may perform
+more slowly. This SlackBuild includes a patch to lift that restriction.
+If you want Pandoc to perform as intended, install Parsec 2 first.
