The moment you start writing a document, you get that nagging feeling that you made the wrong choice of format.  Sooner or later you end up having to convert everything you wrote to another format. Today, I discovered a tool that will get rid my choice anxiety and the hassle of manual conversion.

I was looking around for automatic converters from LaTeX to rST and stumbled upon Pandoc. It took me all but one minute to download, install, and run it on my document. (Ok, maybe two minutes.) And I’m pretty happy with the quality of the job.
