Thanks, Chris. I've learned a bit about pandoc since writing that. Intrigued, both for the extended markdown and document conversion capabilities.

Since I manage larger writing projects in Scrivener, which provides direct export to latex via mmd, pandoc and the vimpandoc plugin strike me a bit as overkill for the simple smaller documents I'd like to format with latex.

I just might adopt it anyway.
