PANDOC also supports conversion between different versions of the same markup language. For example, it can convert HTML 4 to HTML 5 or vice versa.

PANDOC is written in Haskell and uses the Haskell programming language for its implementation. This makes it highly portable and allows it to run on multiple platforms such as Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. PANDOC also has an extensive library of plugins that allow users to extend its functionality even further.
