+====================================================================

+pandoc
+------
+
+The most important dependency of nbconvert is Pandoc_, a document format translation program.
+This is not a Python package, so it cannot be expressed as a regular IPython dependency with setuptools.
+
+To install pandoc on Linux, you can generally use your package manager::
+
+    sudo apt-get install pandoc
+
+On other platforms, you can get pandoc from `their website <http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/installing.html>`_.
