Summary
It would be useful for VMark to support exporting Markdown documents through Pandoc.
Motivation
VMark is positioned as an AI-friendly Markdown editor. Many users who write long-form documents in Markdown eventually need to publish or submit them in other formats, such as DOCX, PDF, HTML, EPUB, LaTeX, or presentation formats. Pandoc is a widely used document conversion tool and would make VMark more practical for academic writing, technical documentation, reports, and publishing workflows.
Proposed behavior
Add an export option that can invoke Pandoc for the current document, with support for common output formats such as:
Ideally, the export flow could allow users to configure options such as:
- Output format
- Output file path
- Custom Pandoc arguments
- Template/reference document selection, for example a DOCX reference file or LaTeX template
- Bibliography and CSL style files, if applicable
Possible implementation notes
A first version could simply detect whether pandoc is installed locally and expose a basic export command. More advanced settings could be added later through project-level or user-level configuration.
Benefit
This would let users keep VMark as their primary Markdown writing environment while still producing polished documents for downstream workflows that require formats other than Markdown.
