Pandoc/Vimtex Integration about wiki.vim

[lervag]

Hi @kwrobert! Thanks for the interesting post! As you might have understood, I am also using this plugin for taking notes, and improving the tools may give big benefits to me as well. (I currently have about 125 000 lines of notes that I've written over the years ...)

Pandoc syntax

I agree on going towards the pandoc variant of markdown, or at least a markdown format that is well supported by pandoc. I see the convenience in being able to use pandoc for converting to other formats.

Perhaps it is a good choice to build on vim-pandoc-syntax, but I am not sure. In principle, markdown format is quite simple, and so it should not be too complicated to implement the missing syntax elements in a good way. To be blunt, I am not sure if the pandoc plugin is very well written and robust/efficient. But if I am wrong and if it is, then it does seem tempting to simplify wiki.vim.

However, to improve the syntax support, it would be very helpful if you could open a new issue on this topic to continue the discussion there. Or possibly, open multiple issues on more concrete syntax shortcomings.

Note: As I just wrote in a different thread (#8), I don't want wiki.vim to become a general markdown plugin, and so for now, I'm going to restrict it to .wiki files. In the future, I might relax this and allow wiki.vim to work with .md files by simple configuration, but before that it must be much more mature.

vimtex

I would be happy if you could open a separate issue for this as well. I don't quite understand how this integration should work, so it would be very helpful if you could give some examples of wiki notes where vimtex integration would be convenient.

Also, I'm closing this since I would prefer that we open two (or more) separate issues as described.
