But does it though? From what I see the line:

exe '!pandoc %'

Is running pandoc with the *file* open in the current buffer as input,
which means you have to have a file and you have to save it in order
for it to work. This is similar to what was shown in previous emails,
but what I was wondering is whether one can use something similar that
uses buffer contents, not file contents.
