Hello,

*About Cooklang:*
I am interested in adding a reader to Pandoc for the Cook 
<https://cooklang.org> markdown language. Cooklang is a concise, 
standardized way to format recipes. You write down the instructions for a 
recipe and whenever you mention a new ingredient or piece of cookware you 
annotate it and can specify the quantity and more. Then that document can 
be rendered by a variety of tools (e.g. a vscode extension 
<https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=isaacvando.cookrender> 
I wrote) into a consistent format. This language seems like a natural 
addition to Pandoc and one that the Cooklang community would benefit from 
greatly. 

I've written a parser <https://github.com/isaacvando/cooklang-hs> for Cook 
in Haskell which would be a good start. It complies with the official 
Cooklang canonical tests. 

*Questions:*
Currently my parser uses Megaparsec. Do I need to refactor it to use Parsec 
instead or is it okay to add Megaparsec as a dependency?

Currently my parser uses String instead of Text. Is it necessary for the 
parser to use Text to be used by Pandoc or could I get away with the reader 
converting its Text input to String when parsing?

Is there anything else I should know before I start working on a PR? Does 
this seem like a suitable addition to Pandoc?

Thanks!
Isaac Van Doren
