One of the Debian developers maintaining the Pandoc package remarked:

suggesting to change GenerateManPage to use cmark-hs instead:

  "Output in HTML, groff man, LaTeX, CommonMark, and a custom XML format
   is supported."

   · https://github.com/jgm/cmark-hs

as cmark-hs does not have the amount of dependencies that Pandoc has (6
vs. 127, in Debian).

What do you all think?

I will be happy to take a stab at changing GenerateManPage to use cmark
instead of Pandoc, if it sounds useful to you.


  Best regards,

    Adam
