How do I use pandoc.windows in visual studio?

I am using pandoc with it's commandline interface on Windows and Mac without problems.

I want to wrap some of the functionality into a Windows Form app using C# and VS Community Edition (2019).

I started out using the System.Process function to run the commandline app and capture StdOut. Then I spotted a package on NuGet (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Pandoc.Windows/2.1.0) which I was hoping was a wrapper to the Pandoc functionality. Unfortunately, all the "How To" links simply point back to the default Pandoc documentation.

Does anyone know whether this package is actually usable directly from within an application, and if so how?

What I have tried:

I can't see any way to see if this does what I need it to.
Edit:

** Found this package PandocTasks 0.1.2. Not the solution to my problem.
** Also found this.RESTful HTTP API for Pandoc. Nice package but still not the solution I was looking for.

Follow the link you gave us, and on the right hand side is a "contact owners" link.

But the description is "This package is just a redistribution the awesome pandoc tool." which doesn't sound like it is a wrapper or API of any form ...

Yup. It _says_ it's a "redistribution. I was hoping it was more than that. Thanks anyway
