The J6 export script should work fine in J8, so it could be ported as an addon. I think the reason why it had not been ported is because of the complex configuration code. However, the configs should now be put in a plain text file like the rest of the J8 configs, and the remaining code would be easy to port. BTW, the utility did use CSS for styling.
I don't see any problem with using pandoc, in fact the joxygen addon already requires that.
