Clipboard Normalizer
It might not for GPLv3: it tries to sidestep it by explicitly voiding any clauses placing additional restrictions, but Pandoc is using GPLv2

Typst 0.15.0
I'm currently working on my fourth book produced using Typst, and it has been nothing but amazing. LLMs struggle with Typst a bit but other than that it has been an absolute joy to work with.
I have a pretty good workflow set up for publishing these books, which are mostly collections of student essays. I use Pandoc to convert the students' Word documents into Typst, then unify the formatting, styles, and headers (mostly via LLMs). From there, I generate both a nice digital PDF and a print-ready PDF using Typst, and then use Pandoc again to convert the Typst into what ultimately becomes an EPUB.
It all works quite beautifully. Most of the challenges I've run into are related to Typst features that don't map cleanly to Pandoc, so I end up adding a few funky conditionals so those features aren't hit when converting via Pandoc. sys.inputs makes that very easy https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/11588

Show HN: Textile – A desktop app for weaving together bits of text
`Textile` is a similar language to Markdown, used to weave text across multiple IDEs, programming languages, and CMSs:
https://textile-lang.com/
Textile is one of the core markups supported by GitHub and Pandoc:
https://github.com/github/markup / https://pandoc.org/
And many CMS, most famously TextPattern and MoveableType, but also things like Jekyll:

🤔How Should We Write Documentation with AI in 2026? (Markdown vs HTML vs Word)
As every developer using AI knows, using markdown (md) files is the best way to communicate with AI in May 2026. On the other hand, as far as I know, AI cannot read and write Word files directly. A Word .docx file is a zip file and contains document.xml, styles.xml, and others, so it is not suitable for AI to read directly. So it is better to convert Word files to md for AI. This time, I tried the popular document conversion tool Pandoc. https://pandoc.org/ Using Pandoc, we can easily convert Word files into md, but detailed styles will be lost.

The surprisingly complex journey to text-selectable client-side generated PDFs
The Swiss army knife for document conversion, Pandoc, supports compiling to WASM since 3.9 [1]. It supports Markdown, in a wide variety of flavours, and Typst. Their official demo page provides a PDF output via Typst, all done client-side [2]. Furthermore, you get .docx and other output formats as well

Potential Markdown Data Loss When You Will Move Away from Obsidian
There's an Obsidian extension for Pandoc so you can convert your Obsidian notes to any other format.
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/pull/11135
There are a number of basic errors in this report, but since it's LLM-written I suppose I shall put as much effort correcting them as the author put into generating them. Sigh.

Show HN: CLI tool to convert Markdown to rich HTML clipboard content
I’d highly recommend pandoc[0] if you need markdown conversion. Basically converts from everything and any markdown style to everything else. And then for clipboard just use `| pbcopy` on a Mac or `| xsel -ib`. Full command on a Mac would just be `pandoc README.md —to html | pbcopy`.
