Pandoc can now do Org

Pandoc can now do Org

[Puneeth]

Hi all,

I've quite often felt the need for an importer to orgmode and so have
others on the list.  I stumbled upon Pandoc, while I was trying to
convert some formats.  It's pretty neat and has a bunch of readers and
writers (though it's not "perfect").  I have hacked up an Orgmode
writer for it and it has been added to pandoc's master.  Some of you
may find it useful.

Also, my Haskell skills are pretty rudimentary (learnt it for this
sole purpose). Some love from the Haskell gurus, will do my code some
good.


Thanks,
Puneeth

Nice! I looked at pandoc once but don't remember a lot about it. How
well does your importer handle math?

The LaTeX reader (and therefore the Orgmode writer) of pandoc does
math pretty well. You may want to try it, to see if it fits your
needs.

But some other things are broken and need to be fixed. It doesn't seem
to have table support, as of now. Also, it seems to parse some
environments incorrectly as quote environments. I didn't look at the
source, so I do not know for sure.

Puneeth,

Very cool!  This opens up a lot of nice importers for org-mode.

Yes, Pandoc is pretty cool and it ought to have org-mode! :)
