Thanks, comments like yours make my day :) Not sure if I'll ever find the time, but I'd like to make the org-parser less useful for Emacs users. The idea is to write an org exporter which produces pandoc's AST JSON format;

Hahaha, that's actually some quality and funny trolling. Not bad :D For everybody interested in alternative installation methods: all pandoc releases are available as statically compiled binaries for Linux, and via installers on macOS

Pandoc should be usable for users of all languages and scripts. It is possible to define the documents language via the `lang` metadata field; `ltr` and `rtl` attributes can be set for individual text elements. Core contributors are western

I'm a long time (7 years) contributor to pandoc. Other frequent contributors often drop by here as well. Happy to answer questions, ask us anything.

Indeed, this shouldn't have been a top comment. It is more a reply to the `org-roam`. Also no, I'm not involved in the development of that app, I just happen to like it. BTW, if your intention is not to crap on anyone's work,
