Notes to Debian users: 1. `markdown2pdf` has been removed, since pandoc now includes `pdf` as a writer option. You can replace markdown2pdf foo.txt with pandoc foo.txt -o foo.pdf Note that unlike `markdown2npdf`, `pandoc` requires that the output filename be specified explicitly. 2. If you intend to use the html2markdown script, you should install tidy, plus either wget or w3m.
