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.

Regards.
