You can use pandoc without needing to write any Haskell. This article is about pandoc (the library), but you can also get pandoc (the command line tool) and convert between common document formats.

In fact, I'm quite comfortable with Haskell and have never used pandoc as a library, I just use the tool.

Also, many Linux distros include pandoc in their repositories, so you can install it very easily.
