You can probably get away with Pandoc depending on your use-case, this is primarily built for:

- having a web editor interface without needing to re-run a CLI command

- people who don't want to deal with packages/dependencies on their own system

- users that just want an affordable and easy-to-use API to generate PDF documents instead of having to set up their own server <> task queue <> worker system which would usually cost more

- in the future, teams that want to collaborate together on a document
