I've reached the limits of my ability. I installed cabal-debian. Then downloaded pandoc-include from github in order to enable pandoc to convert a .tex file with includes to Word. In the pandoc-include-master directory resulting from an unzip, there is a pandoc-include.cabal file.
Directions say to run cabal install pandoc-include. I try $ cabal-debian install pandoc-include and it does not work because pandoc has no install option. What am I doing wrong? Haines Brown
