Rewrite wrappers in Haskell rather than posix shell #228

Closed jgm closed 13 years ago

jgm commented 13 years ago

Rewrite hsmarkdown, markdown2pdf, and html2markdown in Haskell. Don't use fancy libraries (to keep dependencies down), and don't link in the pandoc library. Instead, just use system calls. Have the wrappers built as executables and installed via cabal.

This will improve portability and simplify the build process.

(Also look into installing man pages through cabal. I think this is a recent cabal feature, so we need to worry about backwards compatibility.)

A 100% cabal install would really simplify things for packagers.

Now that we've eliminated html2markdown, we can close this issue.
