{Pandoc for \TeX{}nicians} {John MacFarlane} {I will give an overview of the document conversion program pandoc (\url{https://pandoc.org}), with an emphasis on how it might be useful to people who are already comfortable using \LaTeX\ to prepare documents. In the first part, I'll discuss the use of pandoc to convert between \LaTeX\ and other common formats, including Microsoft Word docx and \HTML. In the second part, I'll give some reasons why even a seasoned \TeX{}nician might want to consider writing documents in pandoc's extended Markdown instead of \LaTeX, and I'll teach some tricks that can be used to recover the tremendous power and flexibility of \LaTeX\ in this simpler idiom.}
