If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife. Pandoc can convert between the following formats:
At GitHub, we’re building the text editor we’ve always wanted: hackable to the core, but approachable on the first day without ever touching a config file. We can’t wait to see what you build with it. Pandoc - pandoc is an implementation of markdown (and much more) in Haskell.It can convert markdown-formatted text to HTML, LaTeX, rich text format, reStructuredText, or an S5 HTML slide show.

Pandoc understands a number of useful markdown syntax extensions, including document metadata (title, author, date); footnotes; tables; definition lists; superscript and subscript; strikeout; enhanced ordered lists (start number and numbering style are significant); running example lists; delimited code blocks with syntax highlighting; smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses; markdown inside HTML blocks; and inline LaTeX. If strict markdown compatibility is desired, all of these extensions can be turned off.
LaTeX math (and even macros) can be used in markdown documents. Several different methods of rendering math in HTML are provided, including MathJax and translation to MathML. LaTeX math is converted (as needed by the output format) to unicode, native Word equation objects, MathML, or roff eqn.
Pandoc includes a powerful system for automatic citations and bibliographies. This means that you can write a citation like
and pandoc will convert it into a properly formatted citation using any of hundreds of CSL styles (including footnote styles, numerical styles, and author-date styles), and add a properly formatted bibliography at the end of the document. The bibliographic data may be in BibTeX, BibLaTeX, CSL JSON, or CSL YAML format. Citations work in every output format.

There are many ways to customize pandoc to fit your needs, including a template system and a powerful system for writing filters.
Pandoc includes a Haskell library and a standalone command-line program. The library includes separate modules for each input and output format, so adding a new input or output format just requires adding a new module.

17.3 Custom Pandoc templates
An R Markdown is first compiled to Markdown through knitr, and then converted to an output document (e.g., PDF, HTML, or Word) by Pandoc through a Pandoc template. While the default Pandoc templates used by R Markdown are designed to be flexible by allowing parameters to be specified in the YAML, users may wish to provide their own template for more control over the output format.
You can make use of additional YAML fields from the source document when designing a Pandoc template. For example, you may wish to have a department field to be added to your title page, or include an editor field to be displayed below the author. We can add additional variables to the Pandoc template by surrounding the variable in dollar signs ($) within the template. Most variables take values from the YAML metadata of the R Markdown document (or command-line arguments passed to Pandoc). We may also use conditional statements and for-loops. Readers are recommended to check the Pandoc manual for more details: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#using-variables-in-templates. Below is an example of a very minimal Pandoc template for HTML documents that only contains two variables ($title$ and $body$):

For R Markdown to use the customized template, you can specify the template option in the output format (provided that the output format supports this option), e.g.,
If you wish to design your own template, we recommend starting from the default Pandoc templates included within the rmarkdown package (https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/tree/master/inst/rmd) or Pandoc’s built-in templates (https://github.com/jgm/pandoc-templates).
