Aren't you describing a wiki?
- gen220 6y agoSort of. (See my last sentence in the above sentence, about how “confluence is close”). Wikis are limited to rendering information in a webpage format. The benefit of pandoc is that you can render it in any format you like, with arbitrary filters and styling. So you can display the content in a webpage, but you can also render it into PDFs with full legal headers and footers, and footnotes with links, to be physically printed and mailed to people. It’s a level of abstraction once removed from a wiki.
