-                Note that BlogLiterately depends on blaze-html-0.5.
-                Pandoc 1.9.3 and later can depend on either
-                blaze-html-0.4 or blaze-html-0.5, but the latter only
-                in case the blaze_html_0_5 flag is set.  If pandoc is
-                installed as a dependency of BlogLiterately,
-                everything should work out fine, since cabal's
-                constraint solver will figure out to set that flag.
-                But if pandoc is already installed against
-                blaze-html-0.4 you may need to reinstall it with the
-                blaze_html_0_5 flag explicitly set.
