pandoc is so useful as a developer. i use it for all sorts of things like creating nicely formatted documentation from markdown files to integrating it into our script processing tool to easily output nicely formatted scripts for voice actors with their lines bolded
@lachlan@eniko the only real issue is the bikeshedding to come across once you start needing more and more sophistication (which markdown extensions? Or asciidoc without extensions? Or the extended asciidoc of asciidoctor? how about type-specific formats like https://fountain.io/ for screenwriting).
And despite this issue, they remain the best thing out there. And yes, the fact they can smoothly go under revision control is chef kiss.
@oblomov@eniko I've been experimenting with fountain.io for something... very weird that may or may not get finished - but it's felt pretty great to use through a vscode extension. Haven't quite tried pushing it into pandoc yet...
I'm curious to see whether I can make ScrumMD work with Pandoc. I'll leave that one in my mental 'what if' backlog for later.
