In rmarkdown: Dynamic Documents for R

#' Convert a document with pandoc
#'
#' Convert documents to and from various formats using the pandoc utility.
#'
#' Supported input and output formats are described in the
#' \href{https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html}{pandoc user guide}.
#'
#' The system path as well as the version of pandoc shipped with RStudio (if
#' running under RStudio) are scanned for pandoc and the highest version
#' available is used.
#' @param input Character vector containing paths to input files
#'   (files must be UTF-8 encoded)
#' @param to Format to convert to (if not specified, you must specify
#'   \code{output})
#' @param from Format to convert from (if not specified then the format is
#'   determined based on the file extension of \code{input}).
#' @param output Output file (if not specified then determined based on format
#'   being converted to).
#' @param citeproc \code{TRUE} to run the pandoc-citeproc filter (for processing
#'   citations) as part of the conversion.
#' @param options Character vector of command line options to pass to pandoc.
#' @param verbose \code{TRUE} to show the pandoc command line which was executed
#' @param wd Working directory in which code will be executed. If not
#'   supplied, defaults to the common base directory of \code{input}.
