Details

Jupyter nbconvert and Jupyter notebook need pandoc to be installed to convert to LaTeX, PDF and reST (and maybe slides, but I haven't tested that). Jupyter will throw an error stating that pandoc needs to be installed. If pandoc is installed, the conversions will go fine.

Since pandoc is in the community repositories nowadays, it can be added as an optional dependency for jupyter.

Additional info:
* Jupyter 4.0.6-4

Steps to reproduce:

Via web interface:
* Install Jupyter and create a notebook.
* Make sure that pandoc is not installed.
* Try to download either the PDF or reST version of the notebook via the web interface under File/Download As.
* Obtain an internal server error stating that pandoc is not installed.

Via Jupyter-nbconvert:
* Install Jupyter and create a notebook.
* Make sure that pandoc is not installed.
* Convert a notebook to pdf, LaTex or reST using jupyter-nbconvert.
* Obtain fatal error stating pandoc is not installed.
This task depends upon
