The R software community and in particular the ~commercial RStudio
front end are I think helping to drive the markdown -> pandoc pipeline,
so it might be more mature / maintained than some other input formats
for pandoc.  Not really sure, seeing I haven't really used any other
input formats.

Sometimes I find conda, anaconda's package manager, usually installed
via miniconda, works where pip doesn't, and visa versa.  I think I've
been able to install pandoc in Windows with conda, although I've been
using Windows less, again, recently.
