pandoc -h is missing a format list in Version 1.18

See the attached terminal output for reference. It would be great to see a list of all supported input / output formats again.

Getting the list of supported formats has become even easier. Simply use the --list-… options, the output of which is even machine-readable now. See issues #3173 and #2685 for more information.

As an additional note: in cases like this, where something changed from one version to the next, it is highly advisable to read the release changelog: On the project page, click on the "github release" shield at the top of the readome. The changelog is very complete and well maintained. You'll notice that one wouldn't have to search for long to reach the entry for therissue at hand: it's in the first entry for version 1.18.

It's good practice to update the manual when making such changes... http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#syntax-highlighting https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/master/MANUAL.txt#L3933 Thanks!
