Just as a codicil... I heard of pandoc only courtesy of this thread and have 
tried it.

I write my university syllabi in highly modular XeLaTeX code with oodles of 
packages and commands defined by me.

As the university has lately been making noises about verifying accessibility 
and I don’t have access to Acrobat nor wish to acquire it on my dime, a 
conversion method of whatever type was timely.

I ran my latest syllabus through pandoc and though I’ve not had time to do 
thorough testing, the results were excellent as far as I can tell at first 
glance with only minor issues which may be due to how I have things set up.

Flip side is that make4ht, which I also leaned of here, didn’t run 
successfully; it choked on some csname issue... which I’ll look into at end of 
term.

FWIW....
